Let me catch my breath, no the seatpost is not stuck lol. I was able to get it to break free by placing the frame on the ground stepping on the saddle grabbing the frame at the cable guide area for leverage being careful with the rear end off a step. It pulled out with a few tugs after that.
The damm dust cap is still an issue.
Soak and firmly tap with a small piece of aluminum plate and small hammer, maybe heat too, then drive a torx bit in the hole, biggest one you can get in there and use as big a wrench or ratchet and 1/4 inch socket as you can.
Or just use a burr or Dremel mini cut-off wheel and hack it out of there.
If you have a compressor (you do have a compressor don't you), this can work miracles.
