I must say as one who has been mechanically inclined his whole 52 years and works on equipment of different sorts for a living, changing cleats is one of the biggest pain in the butt things I can do.
Its always a fight. The cleat wrench doesn grab enough meat to trun the darn thing. I usually end up using a pliers of some sort and even then grabbing onto the cleat is a pain too. For years I always think to myself "let me take 5 minutes and change my cleats" and then its like freaking 15 minutes later and im sweating and my hands are tired and all I did was change like 3 of them.
I fix all kinds of stuff and always figure ways to get things fixed , off, out, in, attached, whatever, can even get a square peg into a round hole. But not embarrassed to say taking off these freaking cleats kills me. Whats the secret? And please don't say 'go spikeless" cause its not relevant.
Whats your ideas for these stuck cleats that don't budge?
