you best bet is leverage  :)

clamp an old stem onto the post... put a piece of pole over the stem's 'stem'... put the frame on the floor...stand on it... push the pipe down ( gently back and forth )

The alloy post will either work loose and come out or snap off ... then you need to melt it out  :daumenhoch:

Sounds interesting, ok well tonight i literally ripped the vice off of the bench (it was only G-clamped on but the whole of the bench top came off !!!!! Grrrrr been on the Protein (Not)...
Filled the post & frame with gt 85 sealed the end with plastic bags & tape & flipped the frame upside down to see if it works it's way between the post & frame on from the insde of the frame.
I'll leave until Sunday & If i cant get it out of the frame Im considering cutting down the post then getting out the dremel & cutting down the  recess at the back of the frame hen start cutting the post from the inside of the post outwards towards the frame if that makes sense ?

The key thing is to break the "corrosion weld" by knocking the post down a bit first. Should twist out a treat then  :daumenhoch:
