For the time and effort I find stuck seatposts are often easier to take to your LBS. I had a carbon stuck in a steel frame and took it to Tom in Cycle PS who did a sterling job. Hacksaw method mainly
Previous I had a Mercian that needed a respray so sent it back to Mercian, took it out and I think looking at about £30-£40 costs

My LBS (Harry Perry) removed a seized stem for me - just left the bike with them for a week - I think he sends these jobs away somewhere - offered the melted remains to me as a 'mantlepiece momento '.
