FOOOOOOKIN HELLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bit late now but did you try the old handlebar stem clamped round it with a bar on the end "technique"?? lol

adenough · « **Reply #3 on:** December 28, 2012, 07:47 PM »

i did, but the stem was slightly to big to fit inside the seat post

my method worked in the end, it was heaven when it made that 'creek' noise , like when you take a car wheel off

Had the same problem,welded a tapped boss to the end of the seatpost,then attached a big slide hammer,came out easy,cut the boss off,still had 15" of good seatpost,frame was untouched
