dude ur a lifesaver. i came on yt thinking that i would not have to pay a repair shop to fix something simple on my sons bike. the first 3 vids that came up were not helping me. then I scrolled down a bit to ur vid and got the help I needed. not only did u get to the point but the vid was short and sweet. only 3 mins and 50 secs. thakn you so much for posting this vid for us. you saved me money
Dude you saved me. I've been trying to fix a chain problem that wasn't a chain problem when I noticed the petals where loose and this was what I needed. Thanks for saving my kids bike making me the best mom ever! ❤
This worked perfectly, thank you! One note, tighten just enough to stop the wobble, if you overtighten the pedals lose mobility and might damage the bearings.
Thank you!!! My sons chain kept falling off and came across your video. Just so happens to be the exact same bike. I now have a happy 8 year old! Such a simple fix 👌
That is great. I'm glad it helped. Thank you for your comments. Likes, shares, comments and subscribing really help to get this channel noticed. Much appreciated.
Thank you for this video! I bought a partially assembled bike for my kid for Christmas. Once it was warmer and he was ready to ride, the pedals were loose. I had bought warranty but they referred me to Huffy. After much back and forth, they sent me a new pedal assembly and said to find a video. No luck. Came across your video that had the same problem and boy did it help. I fixed it!
Thank you for the video! My daughters bicycle chain had fallen off. I then noticed the crank assembly was loose. Your instructional video worked perfectly. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video! My son learned to ride today! And his crank was super wobbly. His chain was slipping off it was so bad. Your video was exactly what I needed. I fixed his bike in 5 minutes . Now I'm excited for him to have a smooth ride. Thank you.
I just started hearing my chain barely rub the guide when I'd pedal down with my right foot and realized that the assembly must be rocking. Thanks so much for the video, I almost certainly would have busted my knuckles or messed up the threads without knowing the threads are reversed!
Thank you so much! My son was so happy when I was able to fix his bike! Your video made it very simple for someone not mechanically inclined to follow along!
@Reichpolotech, Thank you very much for this tutorial. I:ve got exactly this situation with my bicycle. So I'll start working on it. Thanks again for this tutorial. Greetings and may God continue blessing all of us.....
Thank you so much! My friend bought a walmart schwinn for me and this was the only thing their guys missed when they shipped it out to me. But the easy to follow steps are definitely earning you a sub most of all.
Hi 2 U. I hope that you are well. I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time out in making this video and just 5minutes ago my son who is just barely turned 7 asked to fix his bike. He said that the pedals are broken!!! well your video has pretty much helped solve the problem. Again thank you ever so much for taking the time out to make the video and Muchos Gracias as they say in...Turkmenistan!!!
You are so welcome. That is great. I'm glad it helped. Thank you for your comments. Likes, shares, comments and subscribing really help to get this channel noticed and found in searches. Much appreciated.
thanks for the video. I'll add if you doing that, you might as well remove the entire assembly at 1:52 by loosening it, then you can grease it properly and replace ball bearings if needed.
Thank you ..I followed your directions. You helped me fix my crappy Chinese quality bike from Walmart... 😆 Now, I can ride without wondering if my bike will fall apart in that sense. If I could buy you a beer I would ! Thank you. This video is easy to follow.
You are putting the adjustable wrench on the nut backwards when you tighten the nut up ,more leverage if you turn it around, just a hint for easy working
Thanks a million! I would have given up and taken bike to bike shop to pay someone else to do something so simple! one of the few times "righty tighty, lefty loosey" didn't come in handy lol
Hey i have the same issue, super wobbly and absolutely sliding from left to right in and out of the frame. i am new to bikes and i was told i need to replace the entire chassis or frame. I don't know if it is right or if I'm being scammed.
You just made my daughter's used bike rideable again!! It wouldn't tighten until there was no play left at all, so we will see how long it lasts .... Thanks for the video!
@@ReichpoloTech I'm wondering if the bearings are completely shot and need to be replaced. I haven't taken the crank apart to see what is up. Might take it to a local shop and see if it's repairable at all.
Damn, this happened to my bike this morning. Had to cut the ride short & my feelings were VERY hurt! Thx for your awesome video. Im feeling MUCH better now!🙏🏽💯🫡
Hope you all found this video helpful. If you did, hit that thumbs up button for me, please. Let me know what you think here in the comments. Also, please consider Subscribing to the Channel. All of these things really help this channel a lot.
Great video, thanks for the help! On my son's bike, however, when I tighten down the larger portion with the screwdriver it won't get tight enough. It actually goes so far that it comes off the threads. Is there a portion to tighten on the opposite side?
I always got another bike if the crank socket got loose even if i really liked the bike....im mad to find out the problem solving is that simple..thanks
Wished I known this sooner, this bicycle I bought at Academy was poorly assembled. I remember the front nuts being easily screwed off by hand and the seat being crooked. The crank got looser each day but I kept riding it, saw some ball bearings come out today...I mean, I will admit I weight 215 lbs so my big ass could have broken it lol! But I've owned many bikes, I remember a mongoose lasting me 5 years at same weight; but this bike broke in 4 months.
My son bike wasn’t catching the gears so I had to go into dad mode and figure it out! Thank you for the help cause it’s been a while since I fixed a bike 😂
I can’t thank u enough I tried figuring out where the noise came from till I realises the tank was wobbly everyone else on yt was taking apart everything and fixing it as a kid I’d rather not do that and that spot was every oily should it be
Thanks a lot for this video! So helpful! I was about to throw away a brand new Paw patrol $78 bicycle just because that came loose. I thought I lost it!
@@ReichpoloTech I went and looked at my wobbly crank on my bike and there is no outer bolt! Flea market bikes always have crazy defects! Now I know I gotta fix it :)
Before you fixed this, was there an issue with the pedals slipping forward when pedaling heavily? I'm trying to troubleshoot the problem on a beach cruiser, any help would be appreciated!
@@jaycritical1184 I haven't opened up the coaster brake assembly, but I have a working theory.... First you'll need to go on Google Images and search "coaster brake assembly diagram" (it also really helps if you understand how the drive mechanism on a coaster brake works). Notice that the clutch has grooves on it. My theory is: these grooves are either worn smooth or they have grease and dirt in them.
If you would like to throw a small tip in my tip jar, click this button ($ Thanks) above.
As a teenager, this is my only way of transportation. You've saved me! Thank you!
I’m glad it was helpful
Worked perfect! :) Had a loose wobbly crank and did every thing you instructed. Now the crank is nice and firm with no play. Thanks! :)
Great to hear. Glad the video helped. Thanks for the comments. They really help the channel.

Thanks a lot. My daughter's bike had a wobbly crank. Your explanation and demonstration allowed me to fix it quickly. Thanks!!!
That’s great to hear. Thanks for sharing this.
Hello thanks for video Sir but when I tightened it down it made the crank hard to pedal. Did I miss something? I did everything as shown.

Yeah, I didn't even notice that I did that. Ha ha ha. I still got it plenty tight though.
Greasing the bearings while it is apart is always a good idea. 😃
Yes I would agree with that.
Thanks a million! I would have given up and taken bike to bike shop to pay someone else to do something so simple! one of the few times "righty tighty, lefty loosey" didn't come in handy lol
Great job! Why have I worried all these years.
Helped me fix my daughter’s bike. Thanks man! 🫡

Unfortunately, that only lasted a day. It popped out again, even after being tightened.
Hmmmmmm, My son's bike, the one in the video, is still holding tight and working well. I'm not sure what is different on yours.
@@ReichpoloTech I'm wondering if the bearings are completely shot and need to be replaced. I haven't taken the crank apart to see what is up. Might take it to a local shop and see if it's repairable at all.
