Either that or try putting it under load in forward and reverse but do it slowly and see if it'll free off on it's own if space is tight.

You can do it without taking the wheel off, from under the car gently tap the backplate of the drum. Take care around the brake pipe and wheel cylinder.
Dragon's method is worth a try too.
My old mini used to be seized everytime i got in it

Yes the later ones had drums and very little paint or white paint uner the bonnet of metallics to save costs.
But think the 4x4s had disks as stantard on later models
The early bonnet tits examples had disks though as standard
