<VV> Stuck Corvair

[Shelrockbored at aol.com]

This can happen (wheels freeze) in a surprisingly short period of  time.  I 
parked a 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis last October in a  garage and by April 
one wheel was stuck.  And it was a mild  winter.

I wrote a few days ago concerning things to do to prepare  a car that has 
not been on the road in two years.  Many of you were  kind enough to 
reply on an offline with answers.  I will say thanks  offline in a little 
while.

I just went to push the car out of the  garage to get it prepped to mist 
the cylinders, etc. only to discover that  I believe the parking brakes 
are frozen.  The lever releases and  makes the proper ratcheting noises 
in and out, but the shoes seem  locked.

What is the recommended next step?  Pull it out with a  winch and hope 
that the seal breaks?  Something else?

Any help  would be most welcome.

Thanks.
