I've got an old Suntour freewheel with that exact problem. I've oiled it and got it to turn freely off the bike but by the next morning (still off the bike) it's seized again.

I guess that when I feel up to it I'll have to open it up and see what's going on inside it.

Good luck OP. Dripping oil in through the gap on the front might work.
