you'll need to get a heli-coil kit so you can replace the threads inside the crank. i'm sure someone here can give a part number

M16+2 helicoil kit,I forget the drill size but make sure you get a long enough bit to go the depth.A good siver and demming bit is what I used.I sold everything I had to the next guy so I don't have the size on that.The bit is an odd size but they sell it there also.
