Syncros ti seatpost with cranked clamp

[Yeti7cje]

Do I have an options on this seatpost. It has a crack around the rear bolt
It’s titanium and 27.0mm so quite rare and was rather lovely

Thanks

Re:

I think the top is bonded in so you could de-bond it and add a replacement from a donor post.

I did see a thread on here which I'm sure had a picture of a repaired crack - welded. The bead of Wels was left so it didn't look as best as it would have if it had been filed down post weld, but perhaps it was left like that for strength?

Any ideas on how to break the bond to take it apart?

Re:

Nothing I've done myself. There was a thread on here where someone had done this iirc.

Heat gun on max setting should do it. They use glue used in aerospace and golf industry usually, which breaks down at a few hundred deg C. You can also buy the glue from Viking 3M.
