 I have a frame with a seatpost well and truly rusted in, tried a vice and the seat post just started twisting and bending. Is there any thing else I can do like get it bored out of maybe saw it off and hammer the stuck bit right down in the tube?
Cheers

 :daumenhoch: Fraz

harris:
wd40 or diesel oil   well soaked and again
after the vice again and last resort cut of flush then
with a long hacksaw blade  cut down inside the post  takes a long time
either cut in half or 1/4s

firebird4130:
Cheers , will give that a go or just sell it and the buyer can do that  :LolLolLolLol:

spesh:
is the frame gonna be repainted or is it chrome?
if it gonna be repainted plug the post and turn the frame upside down and then fill the seat tube with diesel or i used some old premixed petrol and two stroke oil soak it ove night and then see if someone you know can heat the frame with a blow torch and twist the post in a vice
this is what i did with my old mongoose and it worked then

firebird4130:
sounds good, I think I will just add these ways of removing it to the listing on ebay, cheers  :daumenhoch:
