We had decided the best way would be to find something that fit inside the seatpost to mount it on a drill. That way, you could just apply pressure with some emery cloth and get 'er down.
If anybody finds something that fits inside a seatpost relatively well, let me know. Or, if anyone in the Bay Area has a lathe, mounting on one of those would work too.
To Rothenfield1: the best way to clean the seat tube is to ream it.
I use a small dia drum sander with a drill bit extender to clean inside of seat post ( note if you have a braze on's for a water bottle remove them 1st) tubes. I just used it to clean up the seat tube on my Schwinn Crosscut which had destroyed a SR TCO post when I removed it from so much crud & corrosion that built up on the inside.
