Take a look at this page:
http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/Clutch/ClutchForkPin/RemovingBrokenClutchForkPins.htm
It describes in detail how to deal with a broken pin. The same site
also has a discussion of how to improve the clutch shaft setup at
http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/Clutch/ClutchShaft/ClutchShaft.htm
If you do wind up sawing, the shaft is solid, but I think it must not
be hardened all the way through. You'll still be sawing for a while
- ask me how I know.
HTH!
