I had good success with removing the BB and filling the tube with Coke. I let it sit for about two days upise down, then it came out easily. Someone speculated the phosphoric acid in coke does the trick. I have not tried Pepsi although......

David,
If you can't get seat end and rotate it out, try a threaded stem. That should be the ticket given same size of range.
That old Big Chicken hasn't fell down yet?

Listers and Listees,
What's the latest on stuck seatpost removal? The problem children are a Campagnolo NR seatpost that does not wish to be separated from a Motobecane Team Champion with Columbus SL tubing. The two offenders are currently be marinated with KROIL and will be for several more days. Any other advice concerning a new or better removal methodology will be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to avoid clamping the seatpost on a stand and gently turning the frame as I'm not sure the Columbus SL tubing will respond favorably.
