Wood Post set in concrete driveway

I went back 3 pages looking for a similar problem but came up empty. I do suggest everyone read about the 20' fence, it was funny.

Anyway, I have three 4x4 posts set in my driveway separating my driveway from my patio. I've been wondering what I'd do when they rotted out, and now that day is here. The middle one is ready to be pushed over. Does anyone have a suggestion for replacing these posts without chopping up my driveway/patio? I wish they would have used a wet basket, but they didn't.

Drill out the center with a long double flight wood bit. Pry out the rest. Remove the waste with a shop vac.

Thanks, I was thinking that was the way to go.

2+ years later and I finally tackled this project. I got the posts out ok and got a nice vinyl fence up (2 sections). Now I have to figure out how to latch the 3' chain link gate to the 6 foot vinyl post. Any tips? I can't replace the gate, that would be too easy.
