I'd disconnect the front or rear axle brake linkage first. If nothing changes with one axle disconnected, you can assume that the disconnected axle is fine. If you can isolate it to one axle, reconnect the good axle and disconnect only one wheel on the bad axle.

If nothing changes when disconnecting the axles, the error must be "further upstream".

Without having had such a problem, I'd guess that (like mentioned before) there is a tight clearance somewhere that likes to bind when the brake hasn't been used for some time. Maybe old grease?
