Didja try to clamp the vice grips on it and hit UPwards?Don't have a welder, what about drilling a hole through it, putting a large rod through that hole then banging it with a hammer?
Yes, that thing is wedged pretty good. I banged it for a good half hour then gave up after realizing it isn't budgingDidja try to clamp the vice grips on it and hit UPwards?
All ya gotta do is be smarter than the seat post. If you can't guess you gotta trash the bike...Yes, that thing is wedged pretty good. I banged it for a good half hour then gave up after realizing it isn't budging
That will work too. Don't drill too big or you might rip the tube in half. do it as high on the post as possible so you can get a really good swing. Use penetrating oil and even a bit of heat if needed, but a good hammer should do it.Don't have a welder, what about drilling a hole through it, putting a large rod through that hole then banging it with a hammer?
There is another thread that is the same topic and the way TM mentions is the way it was solved.Was just talking to my bro about this and I asked him what he did.
He cut the top off the seat tube for enough to grip on about 5cm or a couple inch's, then he used a hacksaw and a sawz all to cut into the metal along the inside length of the pipe, then that would allow the circumference to shrink a bit while twisting with your pipe wrench or vice grips.
(His was aluminum)
And use some liquid wrench or penetrating oil as well if you can.
