Good penetrating oil like PB Blaster or ZED or Croil applied liberaly is a good start.WD 40 will do nothing.
Jack up one rear wheel and rock it back and forth with tranny in gear.Rock it and let it set and apply more oil.May take a while but this is a safe and proven way to break it loose.It's most times the rings that froze to the sleeve,do it this way and you can use the pistons again if things are't too worn.
Don't tow it,rods can and have been bent this way not to mention it's hard on everything else in the drivetrain.
