seat post removal !

(1/7) > >>

pkradman:
ok im sure this has been up many times .. but its my turn to overcome this prob .. so im looking for some methods really ...   

 the seat post is level with the top of the seat mast , so nothin is sticking out from the frame ..and ive gauged how deep in the post is .. its in 4" approx

MartyC:
Soak it in diesel to loosen it, seal the seat tube at the bb and fill it up with diesel to the top and leave for a few days.  Then get physical with it and try to tap it loose, if that fails progressively drill it out.  If you get stuck (no pun intended!), my friend has a machine shop with all sorts of stuff that might be able to do the job near Uxbridge in Middlesex  :daumenhoch:

pkradman:
deisel !!! now theres a good word !! .. i done what u just said but filled it up with WD40 .. coste me £30 in the fcukin stuff  :LolLolLolLol:

harris:
another way lee that ive used  still need sloads of spraying in wd or diesel
i use a metal rod    with a small socket welded on one end  put that inside the post 
pull it up so it rests against the bottom of the stuck post on one side,  on the top of the rod i have welded a flat plate
i then smash merry hell upwards on the plate   moving the rested socket to they other side of stuck post.and keep moving till it pops up.

dordymush:
good one that.
