Question about a stuck seatpost that turned into a whole thing
Had a steel frame with an aluminum post seized solid. Thought it would be an hour job. Tried everything. Ammonia freeze, heat, a homemade slide hammer. Nothing. Ended up building a jig to clamp the post and turn the whole frame. Took three full days. Anyone ever had a seatpost fight back that hard?

Ever try a caustic soda solution? That's what finally broke mine loose after weeks of fighting it. Just had to be super careful with the paint.

Honestly that stuff sounds way too risky for a home job.
