I had that problem, with a new set of Stronglight track cranks. Three weeks after getting them and I decide to put them on a different frame. Took the drive side off no problem, but on the other side the dust cap somehow got stuck in the threads and disintegrated, ripping out half the threads as it came....and so I couldn't attach the crank extractor.
I phoned up Outspoken Cycles (where I bought them three weeks previously) and they said it would be a manufacturing fault - not theirs - but weirdly they had a spare left hand crank arm 'lying around' and would send it to me free!
It does mean that the LH arm will have to forever stay on my pug, but I don't really have a problem with that.
