Seat post stuck- solved in 30 minutes whit very few tools

[tommygunxs]

This is my first post here but. I bought an old Swedish bike (Crescent världsmästarcykeln) and the seat post was stuck, stuck extremely hard. I tried different way to separate the seat post from the frame but failed. Then I tried one last chance/method, and it works. I made a simple you tube how I did if anyone more have problem whit stuck seat post. This method included very few tools and I would say it always works as a last chance.

I watched the youtube to find solution on stuck seat post and several solutions used caustic soda which is really bad if you get it in your eyes, and also bad for the frame, so I would never ever use the caustic soda method. The metod I did is safe, but there is a change that the seat post are ruin, but the cost for and old seat post is nothing.

good luck!

I couldn't read the text as it's a portrait video uploaded in horizontal format. And the music!

Why does everything need a video rather than a few simple paragraphs of explanation?
