So i recently bought an RC200 F8 with a headtube repair for a very cheap price, went it with a low ball way under asking and we settled on it.

So far I’ve stripped the bike and had it soaking in an Oxalic acid solution to try break down the oxidisation. IMG_6848.webp

Also tried using a slide hammer and even tried fashioning a puller out of an old hydraulic car spring compressor but nothing I tried has moved it as much as a mm,

Any other last tricks you chaps users before I drive over to Seatpost man.
 
Yep, be carfull with the BB welds.. i'd be tempted to clamp the bolt (you've put trough the seatpost) in a bench vice and gently turn the frame clock and anticlock.
 
Like Betsy said I would also take the bottom bracket out turn frame upside get some grease oil poured down to seatpost also maybe compressed air down the side of seattube try pop oneside
 
Try using Bulldog BDX. Soak, soak, and soak again. I don't know what's in it but it's an incredible penetrant and release fluid, beats XCP/Plusgas etc by a country mile.
