I've had them sit for years with the same problem....The solution I always used was to pull the vehicle a few yards with another vehicle with a tow hook on pavement...You'd hear a "pop" and it'd be freed up again...but it wasn't the bearings...Think my problem was the parking brake shoe/cylinder was stuck and you just need to get it to skid along enough to force them to move back...
