Heat cycle it. Put it in an oven, warm it up to 250-300. Take it out, let it cool. Tap the parts, spray with penetrating oil. A couple of cycles my be required to open up the joints, but it should allow the oil to get in and break things loose.
Warning! Penetrating oil will smoke and stink, so unless you have a way to heat it up besides the wife's oven, don't do it. You'll stink up the whole house.
