Question

please help! i need to ride my bike tomorrow to my work and i will be screwed if i can't get it out by tomorrow morning. if i take it a mechanic shop, do you think for sure they would get it out?

Answer 1

I know I may be wrong but did you loosen the bolt,

If you did loosen it more until it is ready to fall off , then use a large screwdriver or the flat end of a tire iron and stick it in the crack in the middle between the ends of the bolt and pry it apart ,this is usually at the back.

This will help loosen the seat post once you pry it a little tap the post lightly on the top but hang on to the post or it could go in to far.

If you are strong hold it by the post and tap the bike part around the post to loosen it . A little oil doesn't hurt either but when you put it back it could be too slippery to tighten.
