stuck seatpost....

(1/2) > >>

cdt808:
So .... I have an old frame from which I hoped to remove a fluted seat post to use on another bike, but its stuck fast  :(

Have given it a good old heave ho whilst the saddle was on and, in frustration once the saddle was off,  a good tw*t with a lump hammer - which moved it further in by about 3mm.....

how the chuff do i get it out guys????   :-[

Betty:
Put the seat post in a vice and use the frame to twist it out, if you don't have a vice try clamping a stem to the post to give you a bit of leverage  :daumenhoch:

scary_leary:
Drill a hole (near top) through the post, push metal bar/screwdriver through.. Twist n turn til out.

jT Racing:
If all else fails you can saw it off and use a strong caustic mix to melt it out.

senzo milano:
Maybe you can heat the tube a little ....
