yep on the twisting. zero movement. this thing is really bonded right to the inside of the st. I suspect the top of the NR post will sheer/rip off before the post moves inside the tube. I'm already danger close to doing enough damage to the top of the post that it'll be trash.

Have you tried any twisting motion on the NR post at all at this point? I almost wish someone made a horseshoe-shaped saddle thingamabob that would cup the head of the NR post and fit in a vise. Would allow for some twisting action and avoid destroying the saddle rail pins.
Those first few pops when twisting are the most telling. Methinks that if it's been bathing in PB Blaster for a week, the corrosion is thick enough that there isn't any space for the penetrant to get through.
