Hmmmmm ..... is that thing not a viscious coupling .... sorry ... VISCOUS coupling?
It should not be capable of getting stuck.
I think it needs some exercise.
Standard way to exercise a thing like this is to find a big open space, engage reverse, and spend half an hour reversing steering from full lock left to full lock right alternately. What this does is make the front wheels travel FURTHER than the back ones, forcing the VCU to slip the OTHER WAY to usual, and this might ease it off a bit.
The final solution as already suggested is to remove the entire drive train to the rear, VCU and all. It isn't as if it does much anyway.
