get a decent sized hammer and smash away the carbon from around the seat post

easiest method is to put it in with some sort of grease/assembly compound to start with ๐Ÿ˜‰

If it were mine I'd strip the bike to the frame, clamp the post in a vice and try and remove it by turnign the frame.

if it felt like somethign was going to go pop before the post came out I'd take it to a shop and get them to try.

put it in with some sort of grease

probably the cause of the issue TBH ....

carbon paste on carbon componants - dry is better than grease on carbon !
