Like I said, I cemented them in yesterday so the cement is too "set" to allow for a little friendly persuasion with the crow bar without ruining the integrity of the cement I reckon.

It's over 2 foot into a hard clay base so I don't think it's going to move unless I can put enough pressure on it to bend the 50mm square tubing.

But that was never the issue, like I said, the lean is no more than a 1 or 2 degrees at most, just enough to be noticeable at the top of the line of posts and only if you eye it up like I did. It's about it now being just slightly loose, maybe 3-4mm of motion at the top of the fence once finished. I might let it dry completely and see if I can drizzle a little water, with a sprinkling of cement dust in it, down the back side of the post into the gap to back fill it and firm it up.
