Soaking in Coca Cola has done it for me in the past (overnight or renew then longer)

Thanks for that. The thread has made me even more depressed! It is an alloy SE seatpost inside a looptail frame and I was hoping to preserve both. Gonna soak over night and have another crack tomorrow. Will post some pics if I can work out how. Cheers for the help. JB

i got a SE post out of a Loopy loo with this little trick

Drilled a 6mm hole through the top and out the other side (so not to waste too much of the post, then put a long bolt through to get a grip of it, put it in the vice, grabbed the stays and the head tube and twistd (gently)

out it came

I know then re not all that easy, but it will come
