Today I spent over an hour trying to remove a bolt. Tried the WD40, but complicated by the fact that it was an Allen head, and I couldn't find a key to fit it. Tried to glue in an undersized key, but wouldn't hold. Couldn't get the mole grips across the head as it was countersunk. I ended up drilling the head off. The stub was still properly seized in the hole, and bracket rotated as I tried to remove it. Ended up removing the bracket and screwing the stub all through the hole.
And all for a new cleat for my SPD shoes!
Must remember to loosen off the pedals before I set off tomorrow. Don't want a clipless moment at New Street Station!
