I'm trying to remove a crank arm which has had it's threading dis-formed by an idiot (previous owner). It looks as if he hammered the metal crank dust caps into the threading which then mangled them :(
I managed to remove the cap but am now left with no threading so I can't use a crank extractor. Had anybody had this problem before and successfully removed a crank arm without an extractor??
In a bit of a problem...

Any help would be much appreciated.
