If you're in Vic, go around to Darryl Kerrigans house and ask him to do it for you. Worked a treat on some gates.

But seriously, video the thing PLEASE. I reckon you might be able to sell the video to channel 10 to use as a Russell Coight promotion.

Rental car. Plus pay the $20 or whatever it is a day to reduce the excess to 0. Then it will do anything.

Wear a motorbike helmet.

And yes for the 100th time. Video it.

I had to remove 2 posts fron an old sail shade that were concreted in almost a metre. I just welded a peice of 40x40 rhs across the post and a jack on either side and jacked it out. Took no time at all with very little effort.
