seatpost stuck

<< < (2/2)

MartyC:
As already suggested pour diesel down the seat tube making sure the hole at the bb is sealed (if there is a hole) leave for a couple of days and then before attempting to remove it in a vice or applying heat give the seat post a hit with a heavy hammer or club mallet square on, i.e. from the top.  This will help break the "weld" between the seat post and the seat tube and should help you get it out.  I'd use heat as a last resort as it can do all sorts of damage if you get too heavy handed trying to remove the post  :daumenhoch:.

Rombloke:
hit the son bitch in a bit first to break the rust weld.

works a treat
