AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

OK, so I just hit a little road block... or rather, a really big roadblock

I was putting a pair of clipless pedals on... left side slid right on, no problems.

Then the right side... didn't want to grab the threads in the crankarm. So I pushed a little harder while turning the pedal wrench. Still wouldn't grab the grooves. And, yes, I was turning it the right way.

I think I've destroyed the threads for the pedals on the right side. That pedal is NOT going into the crankarm, no amount of cursing, yelling, coaxing, throwing tools or casting spells got in on for the last hour.

I'm going to ask even though I know the answer... is there any way to save the crank? The pedal threads got pretty trashed up (at least the first 2mm worth). I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to replace the crankset. I'm overbudget as it is now.

The dudes at the LBS are gonna get a chuckle out of this one.
