Stuck in seatpost

(1/4) > >>

Ive been wrestling all day with a seized in aluminium seatpost in my t1 barcode frame.

Jeez, ive tried everything, soaked it in lube for several days, frozen it in liquid nitrogen, had 10 tonnes on it in a press and the little blighter still wont shift. Ive buggrrd the post now anyway so it looks like im gonna have to drill it out.

I think the problem is that there is about eight inches of post in the frame  :(

I will not be beaten though  :knuppel2:

I think he means caustic soda (Sodium hydroxide) if you're searching for the stuff.
