The first step is to clamp the shoes into a vise, sole up. Insert a piece of wood into the shoe and then clamp the shoe into a mounted vise. This should secure the shoe so you can use the proper tool to remove the cleat.

Make sure the shoe is secure. Clean out all the dirt from the cleat. Then apply a few drops of Mystery Oil or liquid release to the cleat area. Wait about an hour for the oil to seep into the cleat screw. It will help to loosen and make removing the cleat easier.

Place your cleat removal tool into the holes on the cleat. Apply pressure down onto the sole of the shoe and twist the tool using short motions. This will jar the cleat screw and eventually release it from the mount. Use your free hand to grip the shoe and provide extra support as you twist.
