Fully just came off my shoe when I was unclipping. Not sure why it happened but I just need to take this out for now. I’ve fully loosened the pedal(won’t let me turn my allen key any further) and it still won’t come out!

loosen it all the way and use a thin flat head screwdriver
Alternatively, disassemble the pedal binding.
jam a screwdriver in and twist.
Put your Allen key between the bolts (the long part). Rotate.
If it doesn’t work, hit it with your purse.
Grab both screws with a Vise Grip and twist
Huh, never thought I’d see that. Good luck
You can probably twist it out with an adjustable wrench.
Long screwdriver between the bolts and rotate the cleat like you would disengage your foot.

Hopefully the female threads in the shoe aren’t stripped…
This is my second favorite bike problem after getting a wrench trapped installing a kickstand with a ratcheting wrench.. and third, dropping a bolt and it disappearing into the 3rd realm
New bike day?
Put a screw driver flat between the cleats screws and twist
This happened to me and I took it to a shop lol
Clamp the screws in a vice, Then twist the bike
Release the tension from underneath with a 2.5 mm allen key.
Put a flat head screwdriver on the inside of the backside of the cleat and hit it with a hammer to the outside like the motion it takes to remove your shoe when clipped in.
Looks like the binding’s spring is still holding tension on it, try popping the two small screws on the pedal body to release the plate and it should slide right out.
New bike day! Congratulations
Use your imagination
Bro, if you had any idea how that pedal works you’d know you just gotta leverage the rear clip backward by less than a half inch to release the cleat. Put a flathead screwdriver between the side of the cleat and the rear pedal retaining cross piece (clip) and push it backward.
Just remove the front part of the pedal clamp. It’s rigid and has no moving parts. Just loosing the bolts part way should free it up enough to extract the cleat easily.
