Eugene Brown Posted April 16, 2017 Share Depends how bad, but a Helicoil insert should sort you out. Unfortunately, probably beyond a DIY job for most, but quite quick and cheap. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcd Posted April 16, 2017 Share I agree ! A helicoil is the way to go. Depending on which crank arm you damaged ? You might find it difficult to get a left hand thread helicoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony datoy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Golden Rule on any bicycle, if you can't turn it in by hand until torquing its cross threaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super J Posted April 16, 2017 Share take the pedal out and try screw iI in from the other side...... I highly doubt you've managed to force it in cross threaded all the way..... if you screw it in from the other side,t will clean the threads and then take it out and fit it correctly from the correct side. ...and lock tight or your wife's favorable R400 nail varnish works like a charm.....

You end up doing stoooopid things that you'll end up regretting later (as you can see).Rule #2 If it doesn't fit, doesn't mean applying more force or getting bigger tools.
