how do i undo my spikes???

[bigfoot1985]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

How on earth do you get these things undone???

Yes i have the tool to do it but they just aint moving!!!

Run the soles under warm water and it will soften the mud in and around the threads - that usually does the trick for me, but I have had some battles with spikes down the years!!

WD 40 or your local pro

 

[HawkeyeMS]

A pair of pliers and a bit of elbow grease

Not too much elbow grease or the spike housing will come out with the spike still attached

It might sound counterintuitive but try tightening the spike slightly before spraying with WD40 and then try and loosen them.

I don't know if its just me but I find the modern day cleats and their plastic housing a lot harder to get out than the good old days of spikes into a metal thread in the sole. Plenty of vaseline when you first put them in to stop rust and they usr to come out with ease.

I couldn't get mine out, absolutely solid, thought there was nothing that could be done, tried day after day swearing in the kitchen, the mrs thought i'd gone nuts.
found a tip as Billysboots says, which was soaking the soles for an hour ( i left mine floating in kitchen sink, teach her right for laughing at me) came out a breeze after!

These are crap! The cheapo plastic handle just rotates and leaves the sticky out pointy bits where the are.

Buy a decent wrench. Drill the key holes a tad deeper with the old cordless drill, away you go.

I would avoid soaking the sole in hot water. A percentage of the shoe is bonded together, and this will undo the bond. Possibly. Why take the risk? Glue and hot water do not mix well.

overpriced - £1.99 for the same item in Sports direct, and no postage if you go into the shop

WD 40 or your local pro

Our Pro is not quite as greasy as WD40.

The tool extraction holes tend to get knackered if the spikes are stuck. I drill them a little deeper with a 1/16" drill (1.6mm), spray a tad of WD40, leave for half an hour then use an extraction tool to get them out. Works every time.

This is what I use unless the cleats are really worn and have lost a few of their legs.

If they are worn I'll try this with the cleat attachment first and then resort to the two prong fitting as a last resort
