Pedal threads

Pedal threads are an odd size so not as easy to find someone with the correct insert but it can be done. Ask your LBS

again a helicoil might be a goer depends how mashed it is.
sometime you can sort it by running the pedal in from the back of the crank if its just a bit chewed.

Yes they can, well not retapped, but repaired. We'ver got special pedal taps that cut out the old damaged threads & cut a new one for an insert, which is then wound in the same as a helicoil back to the original 9/16" size
