Bought some M520 which came with those plastic ‘flats’ fitted, lots of huffing and puffing with a big screwdriver, but I cant get the bloody things off. Still set to the standard tightness out the box.

Is there a knack I’m not aware of?

On it thanks

stick the screwdriver in and then use the metal pedal as a fixed point to lever of the plastic bit. otherwise yeah, why not hammer your new pedals, its probably the most use they’ll get 😆

Loosen the bolts, and get a thin flat screwdriver in the small slot at the end where your heel goes

Can you not get access to the tightness screws? Think that’s how I got them off my M540s.
