Cheers all, was trying to avoid the heat method as its a nice candy apple red frame.  Citric acid might be a tryer  :D

Or failing that, use the proven blowtorch technique that our good man adenough sported recently  :LolLolLolLol:

In this case its not a goer as the post is far too low to get a stem on, cheers anyways
