I have a pair of golf shoes that I bought last year. I forgot to
remove the spikes and put some lubricant in them. Now I'm having a
tough time removing the spikes so that I can replace them. Any ideas
or suggestions would be helpful.

Dalip

Dalip, At Golf USA, I bought a spike remover bit that attachs to a power drill. Rather than using a power drill, the spike remover bit will also fit into a Black & Decker portable battery charged screwdriver. Using the two, I can unscrew spikes that the hand held spike remover can't seem to budge. I hope this helps. Ray | |||||
| 1718.2 | try shoe leverage ! | ATPS::MILLER | Fri Jun 18 1993 18:13 | 8 | |
I have also had luck by using the thin type metal spike remover.
I put the tool in a vise and jam the shoe on the prongs and use
the leverage of the shoe to turn off the spike. I do put a little
oil/lube on the spike overnight first. This has always worked for
me.
good luck !

I use the same method as .2 to remove troublesome spikes. I use an
automotive exhaust manifold antiseize lubricant on even newly purchased
shoes.

| 1718.4 | vice works fine w/o tool | TOLKIN::LONCZAK | Mon Jun 21 1993 16:19 | 8 | |
I've used a vice similar to earlier note except that I didn't use any
other tool. I just closed the vice on the individual spike and.......
...turned the shoe.
Worked fine....took all of about 5 minutes to remove the entire set of
spikes on both shoes.
