Replacing fence post

a 4 x 4 treated wood post that was in place for around 15 years has
rotted and needs replacing.
It is a 2.4m one - 60cm under ground, set using a couple of bags of
postcrete.Â*Â* Unfortunately the post has rotted right at the ground level.
Once I free the post from the rest of the fence I am certain that I will
be able to simply snap it at the point where it meets the concrete.
Is there an easy way to remove the lump of concrete so that a new post
can be easily set in its place without having to dig a very large hole
around it and pull it out?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
PS: I do not have access to any heavy machinery.
time and a pickaxe and a deep spade
its probably too deep for a concrete saw.
Expect it to take all day, get in plenty of beer and just keep at it.
