How To Remove Stuck Seatpost In Minutes With Slide Hammer
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 เม.ย. 2016
- I show how to remove a seized seatpost from a bike frame using a 10lb slide hammer. I borrowed the slide hammer from a local auto parts store after paying a deposit. Be sure to get a 10lb slide hammer as I don't think a 5lb slide hammer will deliver enough force. The aluminum seat post was likely frozen in the steel frame due to galvanic corrosion. I had been spraying it liberally with Kano Kroil penetrating oil. I manged to unstick the seatpost in just a couple minutes. You may need to connect the slide hammer to the seat post in a different manner. Possibly drilling a hole through the side of the seatpost and attaching a chain on each side with a bolt going through the post. Or whatever works for your situation. It only took a couple minutes for me to remove the seapost. Now I can repair the bike. Your results may vary.

23 wacks not bad💯✊🏾💥
Great method! No damage to the frame or any other parts. Big thumbs up for this one RJ.
Great job, RJ!! That has to be one of the quickest seized seatpost removals ever.
I like it no heat, cold, vinegar, drain cleaner, acids, and all that other stuff
Galvanic corrosion is real. But to utilise a slide hammer to overcome a seized seatpost is an idea that's simple once you're seen it done. It's thinking up the idea that's the difficult part and that is where you prove yourself again as not only a brilliant mechanic but one with original ideas, improvising a solution to a specific problem. Many thanks for a great presentation.
Those bike companies should be doing this for us while designing better seatposts or metallurgy.
this felt so satisfying !
Bhugeloo95 i know right 😂
Boogie nights
So satisfying
I noticed how your energy shot up. I do the same thing when I'm triumphant.That's why I like to repair things too. good job!
This is one of the best methods I have seen! ... the main point being it saves a seat post and the frame with no damage, not even painting needed ... AND it's fast! :)
I would just like to say how grateful I am for this video, thank you very much. I had a well and truly stuck seatpost, I'd tried everything else (other than caustic soda) and was about to give up hope.
I had never even heard of a slide hammer until this video. I ordered one online, tried it and pop, out came the seatpost. Unbelievably simple but effective method.
I love how happy you are when you finish such a job. It almost makes me satisfied! Great job!
I've watched several of your stuck seat post methods, and by far this one is the best and the one I am going to try! Thank you. I own 6 family bikes, and I'm going to pull all of them, polish the holes and the stems, and put them back together with anti-seize. With proper preventive maintenance (PM) this can be prevented. Thanks again. - gus
Hey RJ, this video really impresses me , i have to fight many stuck seat post in my 20 years turning wrenches and I never imagine such and ingenious way to do it. Thanks a lot for this video. two thumbs way up.
EPIC CONCLUSION!! You're panting through your subscription plug. lol. And the moment it actually comes out.... most satisfying thing ever.
Wow, just seeing this for the first time as I have the same problem on my bike! Never heard of a slide hammer until I watched your video! Thanks for sharing 😊
Great Job! Ingenious solution to an all to common problem......Thank You!
These kind of videos are extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing. its in my memory forever.
OMG 10 years ago, I had the same problem. I tried icing my seat post, heating my seat tube, prying open my seat tube opening w/ screwdriver and hammer, all kinds of lube-oil, light grease, WD40, etc. Nothing worked. I didn't try Draino or vicing my seat because I didn't want to destroy my saddle or destroy my frame's paint anymore. I ended up riding it as is. I didn't have that great tool or Kano Kroil penetrating oil. You are brilliant!!!!
Slide hammers are great! Congrats on getting that post out! You owned it!
Perseverance pays off!
Neat solution, I will bear it in mind if I ever have a stuck seat post. Thanks.
I had the answer to my problem. Thank you. Knowing about proper tools is important.
Damn cross-fit workouts are getting crazier every day 😅
Joking aside this video has been helpful for a buddy of mine with the same issue years after upload, so thank you very much!
I've had a few bikes with this issue. Seriously frustrating. Well done with this.
This worked for me! Only had access to 5lb hammer so took about 20min of hard work, but it WORKED! Thank you!
How do you attach to the seat post?
Every time you start with 'Hey Viewers' I heard 'Hey Dears!'. Thanks for doing these videos - they are great!
Brilliantly done. Useful and very entertaining.
RJ, you never disappoint!
that must be very exhausting. love how you do lots of method to fix seized stems & seatposts. thx for sharing 👍🙏
The best of all solutions and no marring!
GREAT idea mate, thank you very much for sharing
Your reaction at the end is the best thing I've seen all week
I have a stuck seat post on Burley Tandem,I am going to try this method.
Thanks for the informative video.
Just wanted to say THIS WORKS!! Had a stuck seatpost that nothing at all would move. So bought a slide hammer second hand off ebay for £12. Did exactly as in the video, and after a while it freed it. Thank you so much!
Which slide hammer because I am looking for eBay and I can’t see one with an attachment that looks like it will work for the seat post. If you can find it, could you let me copy the link?
this also the reason I lightly grease the post of every bike I ever touch (excluding carbon) It's like my gift to humanity lol
After watching one of your videos where you had to destroy the seat post, it was nice to see this seat post come out without the need to drill, cut, or mutilate.
I have never heard of a slide hammer. Fantastic idea.
A W E S O M E. great thinking, and thank you for sharing. 10 THUMBS UP!!!!
Who needs MC Hammer when you got RJ Hammer :) good work man
great job guy 👍
Just awesome. Brilliant!
Best Method so far.
Nailed it!...good idea RJ -
Nice work RJ. You've earned yourself a Pepsi :P
Great idea! Thanks for sharing it.
You’re a legend!
Frickin great video as I have a seized thud buster seatpost in my Salsa Fargo.
This technique is very clever 👏👏👏👏
Love your work man.!
Love your work.
Going to give this a try thanks
I spent days fuffing about with stuck seatpost. If only iknew about sliding hammer. Thank you
Very satisfying conclusion!:)
Great job .
Good job 👍
That. Was. Awesome.
Good job!
Great video man!! Thank you
Good job rj.. ☺
Awesome dude!
great video thanks RJ!!!!!
Nice work RJ
so happy for u right now
Man I"m so happy you managed to take this off! I can relate
Wow look at all that rust, and it still popped out, great stuff.
So geht`s auch bei Backenzähnen! Super.
A great workout
Nice work!
You got it...well done😃😎i will keep it in mind!👍🏻
Nice work thanks to share!!!
I was thinking of doing that. You have shown me that it does work
That was another success.
Impressive! I had a stuck aluminum post in aluminum frame. The LBS could do whatever they deemed necessary. They drilled a hole in seat post, put long carriage bolt through. One guy held bolt, another turned the frame. Seat post did come out. 2 person job though
Good job.... I'll try it now....slide hammer....never heard of one
Love it!!!
great going RJ, thanks for the tip/video am going to try and find on of those next time i need to :)
Nice job!
Love your videos thank you for sharing God Bless...
Rust City! Nice creativity!
RJ always Beats stuck posts.bin every posible way. Love seeing and Learning from It ☺
I love the challenge. Did you see my impact wrench vs seatpost video?
Now that is a gamechanger
Wow, that's a neat tool.
It worked for me thanks - after about 20 hits it unfroze and a pipe wrench twisted it out
This gives me hope
The main task is to break the corrosive crud between frame and pillar. The vibration alone is probably part of the success and pull hammer effect deals with the extraction process. Must be the safest, least expensive, least destructive way to win out.
Well there is no argeument is there... RJ is 101% commited to the job and, the last video I watched on the tube trying to budge a stuck seat, they spent a edited 30 minutes failing. Thanks RJ.
outstanding!
Great video as always. 👍 I'm going to try out two of your methods on my steel frame BMX bike with an alu seatpost that is completely stuck tomorrow. First i'm gonna try this method with my slide hammer if that dosn't work i'm going to go for one of your other methods using my impact gun to get it loose.
beast mode!
U are very useful man
I'm gonna try this
Legend!
Good job! :)
That’s the best way I’ve ever seen it done 👍👍👍👍👍👍

WoW! That's a good tip. For a minute there I was going to suggest to take it easy and have a Pepsi break...but "Bam" it came out. But keep those cases handy, you never know.
Impresionante!!!
That was just too cool! LOL
Although it involves a tad bit more prep and should the Morgan Hammer not budge the seat pipe it might be worth removing the crank-set and inverting the bike then "Liquid Wrench" the lower end of the galvanic adhesion so as to facilitate removal with less actual trauma to the seat mount assembly. With something less viscous like Liquid Wrench the added saturation greatly enhances the friction reduction component of the problem. By giving the bike a gravitational edge for the fluids propensity to run down hill once the two fluid levels meet a simple twist will often do the trick. The galvanic response can be mitigated to some degree by rotating the bike from inverted to upright and vise versa a few times with an occasional gentle tapping of the exterior of the seat tube with a rawhide mallet. More time consuming and perfect for overnight soak times when feasible. A hair dryer, or heat gun on low would also enhance the likelihood of success whilst lessening damage potential.
nice tool...really
that was awesome
Super!
Good Workout 😂👌👌👌
