A guy did this dissolving thing on singletrack the other day http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/swollen-seatpost
I like the sound of the stem/big time leverage thing, I'm defo going to try that next time.

The bike was put in a vice then the guy bolted a spare handlebar stem on on to the seatpost, he then used a long hollow pole which he placed over the stem ( the part of stem that goes in to the head tube) and turned it using the long pole as leverage. Every time it's been a success apparently.
