stuck seat post

<< < (2/2)

jT Racing:
whack it down first to loosen, then clamp in vice and twist off the frame.

gary4130:
if it's a layback try and use a big pole over the top for extra leverage, i used one 3ft long to shift one, but use plenty of wd40.

MartyC:
Plug the hole in the BB where the seat tube is (if it's got one - a hole that is  :D) and pour diesel into the tube and leave for a few days.  Drain and hit the seat post with a big hammer (to break the seal between the two materials) before putting the post into a large vice and turning the frame from side to side to free it up.

I hope it,s not an Alloy frame like a Ripper or Race inc or your fooked  :'( I tryed all the above :'(
Then gave mine to mi mate who,s an Engineer he had to painstakingly drill it out at work, he said " Never again " >:(
The Alloy and Chrome  had fused together like a weld after time  :shocked:
When fitting new seatposts I ALWAYS apply grease now  :daumenhoch:

adiec72:
cheers all - am determined to shift the fooker today.

Thanks for the help.
