Andy Kay Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I did it at hamsterley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie456_the2nd Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 How bad is it? if youve just cross threaded it then maybe put the pedal in from other side with a long spanner and it might cut the thread agen. If its non existant then, well, i pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee220 Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I don't know whether it would work but its worth a try tapping it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Helicoiling?would be the non bodge - fix it to make it stronger way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeNi Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I managed to this, i just got in helicoiled, cost about £5 at my local bike shop but it doesn't always work... i rode my bike for about 2 hours then my pedal fell off . so i ended up riding home with 1 pedal... i ended up just buying a new crank..

basher Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 theres two ways of doing it drill it big and put an insert in the ones used in tensiles or weld the hole bak up have it heat treated and then drill and tap a thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Swindlehurst Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 well what you can do is: tap it out bigger then pop and insert in,does the job danny.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyhopping Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Depending on what side you have done you can go down to your local garage and get them to fit a new insert the reason they can do it is because a pedal uses the same size threads as a spark plug and it is a comon problem among cars.Cheers Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
