S,
well it is supposed to be easy but it can be tricky, did you put the ball bearing back in the right place and grease the shaft it self NOt dry mounted.
If you look in our WIKI there should be a how-to on the clutch & adjusting it, if my memory is right., if not the WIKI does have the manual for you to look thro.

If the push rod snapped you probably welded the ball bearing to the rod. If you ONLY replaced the rod, this would leave you about 1/4" short on the amount of metal in the push path. Did you check the inner (flat-head) push rod for condition?
