Thanks for the responses, fellas. Basically, the front callipers are seized and my efforts with a crowbar and can of WD weren't enough to get the wheels spinning.
I needed a big old bar and hex socket to free the calliper retaining bolts 'cause they're rusted in, too. Removing the pads was an option for a while but then the house key I was using as a makeshift punch decided to bend after a spirited tap with a rock.
Skinny - you're neighbours must think I'm a right spanner...
