See... I've already tried cutting it out. There is no longer a top to the seatpost. I tried and tried and tried the twisting measure. I broke a saddle doing that.
I'm almost 100 positive that I have a clean cut all the way through it, and it's so stuck it won't move. I really don't know what to do. I used an entire can of PB Blaster as well.
And I'd have no problems using something that damages the paint as it's going to the powdercoater when I get this done.
If you suggest not using sodium hydroxide, that's fine. But would it cost less money that having a machine shop ream it out? And how long would you think it would take to dissolve it? And is it dangerous to me if I were to use it?

OH! Okay... Looked it up. If you'd said Lye I would've known immediately.
I have considered using that, but lye scares me. I may not have choice, at this point, though.
