It is obvious, the jack is on the concrete. While the jack is being pumped up there is downward pressure is being exerted on the concrete. Something had to give, either the screws or post. You would be better served by making a bridge with cinder blocks and stacked 2x6's over the concrete and using lag screws/bolts to secure the 2x4 to the fence post. This would be far better than digging out the post. Best of luck.

I've had success using a 4x4 as a lever with the fulcrum OFF the concrete, but as close as possible to it. Brings up the concrete along with the post. I'm not aware of any method that leaves a square hole in concrete that doesn't move unless you cut off the post and drill and chip it out of the concrete. But why would you want that? A new post of the same size won't fit back down that square hole. You usually want the concrete to come out as well as the post (faster, easier).

@@rfcasey I'll be honest absolutely no scientific thought was put into it 😅 although I kind of guessed what was going to happen, I was certain the 2 foot deep hole full of concrete holding the post in wasn't going to be the weak link plus it was also well bonded to the side of the concrete pathway making it even more stubborn, I just happens to have the Jack close by so decided to give it a go, I used a impact drill to remove the concrete, the video was made less than 24 hours ago and the new post is now in place 👍

@@LifeBy10000Cuts I didn't want a square hole, the new post was bigger in diameter anyway, I just suspected that the post may have pulled out the ground leaving the concrete in place as that's happend to me before, I was always going to remove the old concrete, no vehicle access unfortunately so I resorted to digging out old concrete and new post is now in place 👍

@@101projects2 Glad to hear it worked out. Never can argue with success. A farm jack may prove to be a better tool for this application. I also do realize you sometimes have to make do with what you have. Best of luck

@@rfcaseymany thanks, I was doing just that using tools and wood I had available at the time, I have another fence post that probably needs replacing in the not too distant future so I may do a 2nd video and give it another go using some different methods 🤔... we'll see

All the efforts put into this contraption just ended up making the removal trickier. Now you don't have a post to lift the concrete block when digging it out.

@@jeffjiegao It was worth a try, from my own experience I find the post being in place is more often a hindrance than a help when it comes to breaking up and digging out the concrete.

Wrong , no proper resistance to the front. Not only that, if he taken some of the concrete from around the post out , placed proper blocking down it would work. I've done it for 94 feet of fencing.

@@michaelleonardis1540 I'm ok with being wrong, it was 1 post that's all I needed to replace, with in a few hours the old concrete and post was out and the new post was in.
