Remove a stuck seat post from the recently acquired Surly Pugsley. Aluminum seat, post and steel frames is not a good mix.
This will be a challenge.
Thus far the usual steps have been taken.
- trying to muscle out by twist the saddle.
- lubing the top of the tube with penetrating oil
- Removing the bottom bracket and soaking the seat tube from the bottom with penetrating oil.
- Using heat gun to heat up seat tube
- Putting seat post and vise and twisting the frame.
When the weather warms up a bit, these steps will be tried again. It's hard to work in the cold weather.
I'm afraid I might have to cut the seat post out. But I was planning on a drop post on this build.
