Wet to service one earleir – had “reverse thread” in my head, as the inner bolt is reverse thread – mistakenly tightened the outer cap as a result, damaged the soft alu threads, and now cannot move the blighter.

Any tips for getting it out now? Have tried a screwdriver, or hammering in a torx key, but no luck, and no scope to grip it as it’s flush with the pedal.

Might be able to grind a slot and get it out with a big screwdriver… But tbh that’s usually a less effective approach than hammering in a torq

I did the exact same to my V12s which is why I ended up buying some Vaults. The V12s are on my wife’s bike but one has no outer cap because I had to drill it out and doing so wrecked the thread.
