That one didn't work for me. Neither did pliers. I had to get the allen key/hexagonal screwdriver and loosen off the cleats (just like you do if you want to make it easier to clip out). Just loosen both screws until you have enough play in the pedal to wiggle the plastic bit out. I guess you might want to be careful doing this - rumour has it that you don't want to loosen the screws too far or the pedals will, I don't know, like, fall appart or something that necessitates a trip to the LBS. Once you've got the blighters out, it's a good idea to tighten up the screws completely and then loosen them all the same amount so that each side of each pedal has the same level of resistance for clipping in/out.
Hope that helped.
