I don't see it in their 2006 catalog, *BUT* they do list a repair kit for fixing stripped extractor threads:
Crank arm repair kit PE-11000 Designed to repair and remove a crank arm whose pulling threads are damaged. Thread a pilot into the bottom bracket spindle, slide onto it the small tap and cut new 24 mm x1,5 threads. Then thread special 24 mm x 1,5 extractor to remove the crank arm. Finally, fit one of those special 24 mm dust caps into new threads.
The kit includes : - 3 tapping pilots (bolt, nut and splined « Pipe Billet » types) - 1 tap in 24 mm x 1,5 made from hardened high speed steel - 1 special crank extractor in 24 mm x 1,5 - 4 aluminum dust caps - 4 hex fixing bolts of 8mm PE-11108 - bag of 4 dust caps and 4 hex bolts of 8mm
