Title: seat post removal
Post by: sawzall on October 08, 2007, 07:10 PM

heres a few pics of how to remove a seat post if all else fails,i spent about 2 hours yesterday on a piller drill  :shocked: i used two drill bits,one that was slightly bigger than the inside diameter of the seat post,the second one was almost the same size as post, i made sure i used plenty of cutting compound and kept frame level............
