If it stuck IN the seatpost i'd just leave it
, if it is stuck in the seattube, I'd get it out
with a slidehammer. This can be improvised with a lenght of threaded rod, two nuts with a serious
washer at the shim end, and a nut on the top end. Find something heavy with a hole you can slide up
and down. /Marten
