Unior Proprietary Left Reaming Pedal Tap for Pedal Thread Inserts

I used this to cut a left hand crank where the pedal had ripped the thread. I needed a left hand pedal bushing and a cutting handle.

I used generic lubricating spray and cutting handle to do the cut. The pedal crank is quite difficult to clamp and needs a fair amount of force once the cut starts. Turn anti-clockwise for left crank and make sure you pass the cutter all the way through and then detach it.

This is quite pricey but given it does the job and I can't see an alternative here I will give it 5 stars.;

Arreglas la rosca del pedal en este caso izquierdo con suma facilidad. Necesitas un buen mango para machones para hacerlo funcionar.;

Lo he utilizado para poder poner un casquillo en una biela de bicicleta que estaba pasado. Y me ha gustado toda la herramienta en general.
Que el 616553 es para la biela derecha y Amazon no lo específica y funciona de lujo...está compuesto de el macho de de dos partes una al utilizarla es que la primera fase del macho limpia la rosca antigua y la segunda fase hace la rosca nueva para luego poder poner el casquillo. El trabajo queda de profesional.;

Worked just fine even on my steel crank. Wasn't exactly easy though.;

Watched a YouTube video on the proper use of this pedal tap. Cut new threads in the aluminum crank arm perfectly using WD-40 as a lubricant. Used Loctite to cement the insert and 24 hours later screwed in my new pedal. Still holding more than a month after installation despite a local bike shop telling me it would never work. Ha!;
