I think a soak with ammonia may help to release the bond of the aluminium to the steel. Electrolysis has probably occurred bonding the post into the frame. It's a really difficult situation to rectify. I have spent a year removing a post from a frame - occasionally working on the post to remove it without damaging the frame.
