I Lost my Seat Post in the Bike Frame. I Dropped it into the Frame. It's Stuck.

    I used PB Penatrating oil, needle nosed vise grips, and a hamer. An upward swing and (surprisingly) a few taps on the vise and THE PROBLEM was solved.

    The rubber mallet did the trick, a few good whacks and it fell right out.

    Rubber mallet and WD40 worked! (Not sure the WD40 did anything, but I wanted to try it 😂

    Tried banging with a hammer and dead blow hammer.  Tried using some WD40 but noting worked.  Finally, got these needle nose pliers and that did the trick!

    I used WD40 penetrating oil and shaked the bike upside down with all my strength 🤕. I also wrapped a towel around the bottom bracket and knocked it with a hammer. I screamed when I saw that it budged 😂🎉🤕

    I manages to move my seat post by first soaking my dropped post with WD-40 overnight.  Then I used a blow dryer on high to expand the frame, and mallet board tapping. This is one of those patience is a virtue type of repairs,lol.

    Guys, ffs, it’s been 2 years. Have them drop some of the copious amounts of packing material you have down the tube so this stops happening to people. I’ve been hammering all weekend when I should have been peddling around on my new bike.

    Some WD40. Then used two car jacks between the frame and the seat, with pieces of wood to protect the frame and the seat and then slowly turned the jacks, once in the front, one in the back and the post came out in no time. Big relief!

    I agree with Joseph! Why have this design flaw. You could shape the post so that it flares out just before it tapers to go into the seat socket. If for some reason you don’t want to pack the frame with styrofoam, design a better post!
