You didn't say how long you've been working on it, but it'll likely take a good 2-3 days for even liquid wrench to get in far enough to help. Ammonia might help too, but do it outside - i tried it in the basement on a stuck post and stunk up the place. I ended up cutting the post out of that bike, my old Bridgestone MB. Vertically cutting a seatpost with a hacksaw blade is certainly an exercise in patience. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
