Car sat used is there a way to separate the disc?

That happens. Start it in gear and it will brake free  in 20-30 ft.

+1 . Hopefully you can point it in a direction that gives a fair amount of room . I had one that took about 50 ft or more to break loose. Another time I didn't have too much space for a 50 ft run so just to be sure I gave it a little gas (as in trying to spin the tires) it broke loose immediately. When it breaks loose you push in on the clutch pedal and brakes.

I think that worked

It bucked like a bronco but finally broke free

     And hopefully the friction material hasn't been pulled away from the marcel plate vs shearing from the corroded flywheel and or pressure plate!      :o

A bit scary but seems to be working for now
