old chestnut - stuck seatpost - help!

(1/3) > >>

generallee:
i have a cromo obinson frame with a stuck alloy seatpost ... ive tried wd40 - nothing doing -
also tried heating the frame to expand the metal a bit- still wont budge - I dont have a vice or workshop with huge clamping machines so cant try that - any solutions that anyones ever come up with would be much much much appreciated!

firebird:
try a pipe freeze kit from the plumbers, then heat it up. it has worked for me in the past.

bmx xxx:
drill a hole right through the seat post, then put a screwdriver through it and try to turn it, will soaking it in wd 40 or take out the crank set and turn the frame upside down and try to spray the wd 40 down the tube, hope you shift it fella,

lazychubs:
or fill the seat tube with cuastic soda
as it will eat the post and not damage the chromo frame
make surs there's no holes in the bottom bracket or it will
run out lol

djgivvinup:
Big pipe wrench should do it maybe?!  :-\
