Fix Kids or Adult Bike - Loose or Wobbly Pedals and Crank Arms
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2020
- Do the pedals on your kids bike wobble? Does it seem really loose? Have you ever had a loose crank, or sometimes called crankset, or bottom bracket, on your bike or your kids' bike? In this video I will quickly show you how to tighten that crank assembly up using a flat-head screwdriver and slip joint pliers. I put links below of the tools that I used in this video if you need or want to purchase them.

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 for this tutorial! It was just what I needed to fix my kid's bike.
You're welcome! Glad that this video could help. Thanks for your comment.
Please share the video with others and Happy New Year.
Me too! Thanks for the video.
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.
Thanks for your comments.
Yes.
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 👌

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
That’s great. I’m glad it was helpful.
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! ❤
Awwwwwwww. That is so awesome to hear. I’m glad it was helpful.
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!
That is great. I'm glad the video could help. Thanks for the comments.
Thanks for the walk through. Putting together a bike on Christmas eve has never been more frustrating. Your video helped for sure. Cheers
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for checking out the channel.
Thank you! This was exactly what we needed to fix my son's bike. Great video ☺️
It's great to hear that. I'm glad it was helpful. I appreciate your comments.
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.
That’s great. I’m glad it was helpful.
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!
Out of all the videos regarding loose crank yours was most informative 👌. Thank you
I appreciate hearing that. I'm glad these videos are helpful. Thank you for your comments.
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.
I’m glad it was helpful
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!
Glad it helped!

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!!!

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
You rock! Thanks for this, I shined a little more in my kids eyes, thanks to your vid!!!

Awesome vid!!! Thanks
Thanks I had no clue. Appreciate your help
Glad it was helpful
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.
@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.

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
Yeah, I didn't even notice that I did that. Ha ha ha. I still got it plenty tight though.
My mom won't even let me fix it
It happens
what type of wrench did you use for this? i've been having loose pedal issue
really helps ,thank u 😊😊
Glad it helped! :)
saved me $ and a trip to the bike shop thanks!

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.
Legend this fixed my issue
Glad the video helped.

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 😂

Thanks for the vid
Glad that it was helpful. Thank you for the comment.
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?
You're welcome. Glad it helped! Thanks for your comment. I really do appreciate it.
Please share the video with others and Happy New Year.
Thans so much
thank you very much, I took my byse to the mechanic and he fixed that part
Glad it helped
Mine is super hard to get unscrew idk if it’s to rusty or really tight
Thank you sooooooo much

Anyone ever get a loose drive side crank randomly? Like I have a road bike (not even 18 months old) and I commuted on it, locked it up, and once I finished work immediately noticed the chain was rubbing and I could feel the pedals almost swaying and loose under my foot. Checked the crank and it's loose with a lot of play on the drive side.
Now when I locked my bike up it was between 2 other bikes and a bit of a squeeze, so I'm wondering if this can just occur randomly as it was fine when I locked it up, or if someones actually damaged it somehow trying to get in there for their bike or something.
Thx helped allot
I’m glad it helped.
Thanks awesome!
