I just recieved a Raleigh in the mail and I'm currently in the process of overhauling it. I came to the crankset and gave the left dust cap a turn and crap, it stripped the hole where I was supposed to put the allen wrench in.. the same happened with the other side. I was going to pick up some WD40 and hope for the best but I know that is unrealistic. Anyone know any 'abusive' ways of getting rid of those dust caps once and for all? After I get those caps out I've gotta figure out where to buy some NOS ones.. Any help is appreciated. -Bryon Wright Antioch, CA -- Illegitemi Non Carborundum
