How to repair stripped pedal threads on the crank arm. In this video, I use the Unior pedal tap repair kit. It comes complete with the two in one reamer and thread tap and the left and right bushings (Helicoil). You just need to purchase a heavy-duty thread locker such as Loctite 271 Red and a T-handle tap wrench to fit the reamer. Down below is the link to locate the tools and the parts. Please shop around before buying it​.
