In 2010 after my car sat in a barn for 9+ years, my LF brake caliper pads
were "locked up" on the rotor.
Trying to move the car forward or backward only "skidded" the wheel on the
wooden plank floor.
Jim Adney suggested having one or two people sit on the LF fender and try
moving the car in 1st or reverse.  The additional weight added
tire-to-floor friction ...* voilà ...* the locked up wheel broke loose.
