Subject: [CR]Solution for stripped Stronglight threads?

I have two sets of Stronglight cranks wherein someone used the TA puller (which is a DIFFERENT size) thus destroying the threads.

I went to the archives and typed in Stronglight and over 2000 posts came up. I got to the bottom of page 6 (150 posts) and my A.D.D. kicked in forcing me to take a Klonopin.

Right now I am in altered states.

If you owned a 49D crankset and the extractor threads were completely stripped out, how would you repair it?

Is there some option other than the expensive Stein repair procedure? Any links of help would be very appreciated.
