you could bolt a timber on to the post if the post has holes in it or find some raul bolts that fit in to the holes or drill your own. it pays to get real rawlbots (they say rawl on them) the cheep ones are just not up to the job.

Regards getting rid dig all-round them and get your self a sledge hammer and a 600mm ish long chisel get some one to hit is when u nod your head or just belt it a few times ,the breaker should not be needed
if u need more info just ;let me know

Make sure the foundation of the post is wide/deep enough to take the extra length of wood post if any, if you attache say a 7ft 4x4 to a 3-4ft concrete post , you are increasing the lever arm effect, by the time you panel it out, and the wind catches it it could fall over,
