If t
Frame is steel and post is alloy then wrong or no grease. Water has got it and caused corrosion. Ally and steel corrode then expand.

I really thought I'd beaten this seatpost.
When I wedge the post in the storm drain on the road and twist the frame (don't have a vice) it now turns.
I really thought that when 'I broke the seal' I would be on the home straight, but I still can't remove the post from the frame-set. Tried belting it upwards with a heavy hammer using the clamp area. I'm getting a solid contact but it just won't budge.
@lynx it's a steel frameset, alloy post.

Isn't it that it formed a bond due to lack of grease on the post and if you grease the new post (and check it now and again) you should be fine?
