Are you absolutely certain that it was locking up when you tried rotating the pinion or was it just enough resistance that you couldn't overcome it without a bigger lever (ie, rotating the wheels). It just seems to me your looking for a problem that isn't really there. I've been down that road before myself, chasing something and the answer was so obvious I couldn't see it.
None taken, I had the wheels 4 inches off the ground I think I had one of the axle nuts to tight and was just enough resistance to cause the problem, the e brake hasn't been working for years😅
