Since the pilot bearing is about 3/8" thick at most, having 1+ inch of motion means it's more likely damage to the input shaft could keeping the clutch disc from sliding off the input shaft. Or something else is interfering with motion... shift levers, cables, electrical, clutch slave cylinder piping, drive shaft still connected? Not saying those are the problem but sometimes we all get scatterbrained and overlook the obvious.

If nothing else is the issue, do you have access to the pressure plate to flywheel bolts? I'm thinking you can rotate it around and loosen the pressure plate from the flywheel.

I'm going outside to hug my 4runner.
