If you're not in a big hurry, it's worth giving it a few weeks of soaking. Maybe try some ATF in with the diesel, as lots of guys swear by it, and give it a jiggle from time to time and try to get it to move some. You might get lucky. Pretty hard to tell while it's buttoned up how close it is to being free or how hopelessly seized it is. Might as well try the easy stuff first.

Did you drain the original oil yet? If you haven't, it would be a good idea. If shavings or chunks of metal come out, you'll know you have bigger problems.
