The next thing to try is prying the ears of seat lug apart slightly with a screwdriver. Sometimes it is easiest to stick a flat-bladed screwdriver between the ears and twist gently. Other times you may have better luck by inserting a large Phillips head screwdriver or Allen wrench into the bolt hole on one ear at a time and bending the two sides individually.
Most repairs are easier if the bike is held in a work stand, and for some jobs it is helpful to have the bike partially disassembled. This is not the case with seatpost extraction.
It is easiest to work with a fully assembled bike, sitting on the floor on its own tires. When pulling on the seatpost, the best way to hold the bike down is to put a foot on a pedal. |
