My problem is similar....bike is hybrid type, perfect as a back up bike for my wife. Has Deore drs, rapid fire shifters, paint decent, cromo frame, etc., and she likes the suspension post but not in present position. My main fear is that I will destroy the post trying to remove it and wreck the bike in the process or be unable to get it out. I'm getting close to trying the air chisel method previously suggested.
