I know this will have been asked many times but whats the best way to get one out ???? Im guessing heat ?????
-
try and get some washing up liquid between post and frame, let it soak overnight.
then alot of twisting and pulling :LolLolLolLol:
seriously, depends if you want the post, you could try and vice it and twist frame off
heat, maybe but never worked for me
-
I read somewhere that if you attach a handle bar stem to it you can put a longer pole over the stem shaft to act as a lever. I haven't tried it myself but it sounds a great idea.

Thanks guys no I dont need the post so I can KILL IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive sprayed some wd40 on it for now, its a steel fluted so its ran down ok :daumenhoch:
-
if its fluted might be able to get some vice grips on it
-
Try Diesel instead of WD40 and leave for a couple of days, works a treat then hit the top of the seat post with a big hammer to try and break the "weld" before getting any grips or stilsons on it :daumenhoch:
-
same as marty try diesel first. dont forget if its a steel frame' the alloy post will probs
heat up and expand before the frame. if all fails alloy posts can be drilled out :daumenhoch:

^^^ this works , put an old stem on the post , then whack the stem with the biggest hammer you got
( away from frame,not into frame ) :daumenhoch:
