Default rs2000 clutch seized

i only wish i hadnt left my mk2 rs in the garage so long.

first the rear brakes seized had to be changed.

now the clutch has seized, b4 i break open the bellhousing and replace any tricks of the trade which may free it.

i tried driving it with the clutch pedal depressed

also tried putting it on bricks , and 4th gear and applying the handbrake still seized.

That happened to ma Sunbeam. Jacked the back up, started it and let it run for ten
mins. Pressed the clutch a few times and it worked

I had this on a mark 1 escort and we freed it up by towing it down the road. This also happened on my capri but I couldn't free it off so I had to remove the gearbox
