try and get some washing up liquid between post and frame, let it soak overnight.

then alot of twisting and pulling

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

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

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

^^^ 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 )
