Drill a large hole in the center from the end. Then jigsaw from the center to the sides and pull out the pieces.

Are you trying to salvage the anchor? If not, use a flat head screwdriver to pry the teeth back. Otherwise, cut the post flush with the end of the anchor, then use a wedge like this and drive it in with a hammer. Then just pull the pieces out
Nancie, This looks like a difficult project. I am assuming you are keeping the bracket and replacing the wood post. You will probably need some help get the bracket loose. Google it for ideas, you might find a simple answer but make sure the new wood post is pressure-treated wood for exterior use. If the wood is not treated is will rot out quickly and then you will be back to square one. Rick Allen

Place a long metal screw or dowl with a flat end through the holes on the bottom and hit with a mallet. work your way around until you can pull it out.
