Can oil starved rear bearing seize up engine without other noise earlier before seizure, can bearing lock up engine.
After reading above in red; it sounds like maybe that bolt that you lost last year (OR A BOLT previously lost in there) might be jammed between flywheel ring gear and flywheel housing.

If you turn engine backwards it might unjam the bolt temporarly
