Removing stuck or seized seatpost?

Ok - i have the same problem, but it is easily solved - however it will fuck the paint job

Basically you take it to Mend a Bike in Fulham, and the dude there heats up the seat tube with a torch. Now initially the aluminum expands faster than the steel around it, however as it cools the aluminum shrinks faster, at which point he whips out the seat post, et voila - only problem is that the process strips the paint - he has done a couple for me, and it works a treat.

I might have got the exact metalurgy process wrong, but it does the job

called them up and said it would cost me 25 quid per part stuck. i have 3 parts in my frame!!!
