rubbing alcohol. pour it around the top, and get it in through the bottom bracket or through the water bottle bolt holes. it is a pretty good tool against the corrosion that has stuck your post. it's worked wonders for me.

There are some great tips there, but the info is a bit dated.


Once the carbon post is freed (I agree with the rubbing alcohol approach), coat it with some Tacx assembly lube to prevent future seizing.
