My son Noah's 89 Foxbody has been sitting in the barn for 6 years. Today we tried to roll it back farther into the barn in order to get my newly acquired classic car in, but the brakes appear to be frozen. Any thoughts as to how to unfreeze them?

Other than taking them apart, I don't think there's anything else.

Actually, we would up spraying them with WD40. They freed up instantly. YEs, I know its not conducive to good braking but I think the rotors have to be replaced anyway.

Another use for WD-40.
Amazing
I think the total number of uses is now at over 2001 and counting from my last WD-40 brochure.
PS just a friendly reminder - don't use the excuse my "brakes failed" if you have an accident, the police mechanic might have a heart attack when the car is inspected.

The car is not going anywhere. It's been sitting for 6 years. Next spring it will go to a trusted mechanic and get all systems refurbished.
