Clamp the end of the seat post in a vice and twist the frame to work it out.

If the post shears off you will need to get it reamed out (big drill).

I had a Hutch Pro Racer with a stuck fluted posted. Clamped an old SR stem on the post. Used Kano Penetrating Oil. The advertise "Oil that Creeps". Sprayed this in the seat tube every 3-5 minutes for 45 minutes while drinking beer. Watch some TV, had more beer. Then took a heat gun and heated up the seat tube for 20-30 seconds. Took a three foot long pipe. Put the stem in the pipe. Layed down the frame on cardboard on garage floor. Prayed to the BMX gods. Took another gulp of beer ..... stood on the frame and pushed down on the pipe. Heard a loud creak. Pulled up on the pipe. Heard another creak. Push down again. Pulled up on the pipe and worked the post out of the frame.

There is a great thread over on OZBMX with plenty of pics where one of the guys has completely dissolved a stuck alloy seat post using Caustic Soda.

Be very careful with this stuff Donald - You do NOT want to splash this in your eyes or all over your crotch!
