UniorUnisex 5/8"x24 1695.1al Pedal Taps, Silver, 15 x 1.5 cm UK

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.

Remember this is for the left side crank, turn anticlockwise to cut or clockwise if you buy a right side tap.Requires a little force to catch but is sharp and takes less than an hour.Purchase a unior left threaded helecoil insert and red threadlock. Lock the insert in the crank on the new threads youve made, file down excess protruding helecoil for style points and youre done.Perfect solution to a silly mistake

did the job perfectly

Much cheaper compared with taps from other manufacturers and still works like a charm, cuts precise and without too much struggling. Saved some XT Deore crankset from the trash bin.Some minor downsides tough - there is no handle in the set so you need to buy it separate for 30 EUR, but I manage to use adjustable spanner to use this tap and cut the tread, so some savings there at my side. Also the thread cut with his UNIOR tap is not compatible with CYCLUS TOOLS pedal thread repair sleeve and vice versa as the thread pitch does not match so I had to buy UNIOR pedal thread insert instead which is twice the price of CYCLUS TOOLS thread repair sleeve.

Già utilizzato varie volte anche con acciai piuttosto duri tipo il cromo nichel molibdeno si presta bene anche all'utilizzo sul mandrino della contropunta

Trabajo fino, resultado perfecto.

Instead of paying $300+ to replace the whole crank assembly, or even replace the bike as one shop suggested, I bought this tap and rethreaded the pedal tap myself ... a process that took only 5-10 minutes and works great. This tap includes a built-in reamer that cuts out any remaining old threads before it starts cutting the new threads. Remember to TURN LEFT ... I didn't at first. Have the tap cut new threads all the way through the crank arm, install an INSERT on the pedal (I used Loctite for good measures), reinstall pedal into crank, and tighten with a wrench. The insert may be a little long so you may want to trim it from the backside of the crank arm when done.You need to buy the proper insert also (unless it comes in a kit).Look for a USED one ... you will probably only need to do this once (ever).

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