Blood, sweat and tears and a lot of cups of tea. Persevere.
Dig down below and around the concrete, and then shake it side to side until it loosens and pull out
dynamite
Rent a jack hammer, bust up the concrete and remove both concrete and post. Then you only need to add the new post and pour new concrete.
Try to wobble it out, if no good then cut it off at the base then drill it out..
A JCB.
I don't know if this is the situation, but if there is any post left, you could use an old type car jack to leverage it out. good luck.
i once watched a guy use a tire jack to remove a fence post .. he wrapped the post tight with a chain , hooked the chain onto the jack and worked it up and then reset the chain as needed. the jack in question had three legs on it .
Where I live, it is common to sink 4x4 treated fence posts using concrete. Over time they will rot away and require replacement.
The easiest way I found to pull them up is to attach a fulcrum, to the post, using a 2x4. On one end I support it with cinderblock, and on the other end I use a car jack. As the fence post is pulled up, I add another cinder block to both sides of my fulcrum, until the post clears the ground. The nice thing about this method is that it leaves my hole intact, so I can go back with a new post and concrete if I need to.
Use a pry/pinch bar to break the concrete round the post.
An hours hard work and its out.
unless you have a kango to break it up ...or a long chisel and a lump hammer ..then you have to dig round it like every body else has to
Got a truck? Wrap a chain around it and drag it out.
drill a series of small(1/2 in) holes across the middle of post that has been cut off at level of concrete. take a sawzall and clean out the wood the bit missed. now you should be able to collapse the two sides inward and work them out, or at least enough of them to get a new post in the same hole
Hard work, just invest in a Strong fork and spade, and get out there and start digging.
get yourself a fire extinguisher or a bucket of sand,for safety reasons,and set fire to the thing.
my friend hired a concrete breaker for about £35 a day. it is not easy to use, but it does the job...becareful of pipes and drains whatever you do to remove concrete underground!!
