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.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

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:
