The hex head is completely round and the allen key just slips. Any ideas how to get the b$%£$^$% off?
Thanks

Thats exactly what i'd do at work...holding the shoe tight will be the hardest thing...snomaes said:Use a hammer and a centre punch. Make a mark on the outer edge of the screw and punch it in an anti-clockwise direction.
This has never failed to work for me, although it may take a while to initially jar the thread loose.
Steve Austin said:You can use a torx key as well which is a lot less faff than drilling or centre punching it round.
Just tap it into the worn recess and turn as normal

Used this on a lot of things, at work and at home. Used to think thats what they were invented for!

psmiffy said:You do not need to be that accurate the allen socket centres the drill - for SPD the drill size should be slightly larger than the actual bolt so that just the head comes off
