Default Help with 951 Clutch issue

I have a 951 and it has been in storage for a few years now. I recently went to pull it out and found the clutch pedal on the floor. I had been keeping it in gear this whole time and now I can't get the cars real wheel to brake free. I know the clutch pedal issue is due to the slave/master, but could this lock up the rear wheels? Would love to get a few people opinion on this issue.

thanks

if its been sitting for a few years with the hand brake on, the parking brake is probably seized and wont disengage from the rotors.

If you didnt have the handbrake on, its probably just some rust build up between the rear pads and rotors causing it again, not to break free.

clutch shouldn't affect changing gears while the car is off. what vwdiselgolf said is probably your issue. jack up the rear and see if you can turn the wheels

I had the car on rollers and when I went to take them off the tires would not budge. I even tried dragging it with my tractor and still they just slid. Maybe I will take a wheel off and look in there. It is just way to hot at this point to do it.

If the storage was not humidity controlled it is quite possible the pads (especially semi-metallic) have rust bonded to the rotors or the e-brake shoe bond as mentioned. This can also happen with the clutch disk which can make it seem as if the clutch isn't releasing. Have to fix the hydraulics before you'll know.

I guess my question now is: Is it possible that the hydraulics locked the clutch together to cause this? If I fix the hydraulics could that take care of the rear wheel issue? Or is this most likely unrelated?

Not related to hydraulics.

Probably related to rust.
