That would make it impossible to use PEAK with Zope's copy of ZODB, I'm afraid.

Reinstall ZODB, it should overwrite the modules that PEAK installed.

Note that the installation docs state that PEAK will not install its 
Zope-compatibility modules if it detects that Zope 3 is installed.  It does 
so by testing for the presence of the 'zope.component' package.  So, if you 
install Zope 3 (or at least a zope.component package), you can install PEAK 
without overwriting the ZODB modules.
