Stuck seat post in an 88 Haro Master

<< < (2/3) > >>

Despair and frustration started setting in... to trimmed the post down again plugged it up again and filled it up again with Citric Acid for a day then ATF again.

I stuck all this on the Rad facebook page and the Steve Animal sent me a PM with a tip on how he does it with a strengthened hacksaw blade and using the feeling to know when he was through the seat post and not the set tube.

I didn't have the materials he suggested at home, but I did have a small metal bar, so I figured I could just tack the metal bar on to the hacksaw blade.

Then I realised I could use the metal bar as a depth guage... Once the metal bar touches the inside of the seat post the hacksaw wouldnt cut any further so I'd be sure not to cut into the seat tube instead of just the seat post.



Once the blade wouldn't cut I his the top of the post with a mallet!

IT MOVED!!!!

I drilled a new hole in the post and stuck the u-bolt into the vice and started twisting with the frame.



and out it slowly came!!!  :D :D :D :D








The only bad part.... now I have to build another Haro  ;D
