I believe that you are dealing with aluminum oxide seizure. I have been told that soaking the frozen parts, in ammonia, will attack the oxides causing the problem. At least, I think it was ammonia. Has anyone else heard of this method for dealing with alloy seizures?

Don't just give it a try. For all I know, the ammonia might eat aluminum too.
