Default rear brake seized

hi guy had my 99 parked up for 6 months now and someones left the hand brake on (not me).
problem is the drivers rear is completly seized on, ive tryed hitting it with a big hammer to no joy.
i started to take it apart the other day but could not get the brake disk of at all.
i removed the caliper and it seems like the hand brake is not holding it but it just wont move.
can anyone help

Did you wind back the adjusters?

it might be just rusted onto the hub , have you hit the disc with a mallet so it is loose on the hub , if so it should come off , if it jams just before coming off then the handbrake would need loosening , give me a ring if you want me to run through it
