Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Easiest way is a vise. Hold the post, pull the frame while working side to side. Second easiest way, step into the V where the down and seat tubes meet, with yiur hip stabilizing the frame from twisting. Use one tool to turn the post, and the other hand to grip and pull on the post as you turn. This method works twist in one direction continuously.

Either way usually causes some heat so keep the post well oiled with penetrant, and rest it to cool as needed.
