There are nuts or allen bolts for both the stem and the bars. They are almost certainly a metric size, but hard to say what unless one has the same bike. My guess would be a 12mm hex, plus or minus, or a 6mm allen, again plus or minus. Get a metric hex/allen set and see what fits.

My bikes handlebar is coming out on the left side. I don't really know anything about bikes so I need help. (Its a 26" Huffy Mountain Bike)

On the steering stem were the handle bars go through there will be a clamp. This clamp will have one, two or four bolts tht clamp the handle bar.
Depending on the type of bolt used on your bike you will need a ring, socket or allen wrench. Loosen these bolts of about two turns anti clockwise and center your bars and then tighten the bolts.

How do you raise the handle bars on the bike?

If it is an older bike, you loosen the bolt at the top of the handle bar shaft until it is about 1/2 inch raised. Take a hammer and give it a swift bump and it should drop into the shaft. Hold the front tire between your legs and the handle bar should raise up. Re tighten once every thing is lined up. If the bike has front hand breakes these may need to be adjusted.

How to fix the neck on a bike

They tighten with several different size or types of bolts. Easiest is headbolt with 1/2 inch wrench. Some use hex or allen wrench bolts, usually 4. These may be 5 or 7 mm. If these aren't on your bike, try sheltonbrown.com for assistance or take it to local bike shop

Handle bars

just under the part the handlebars go through (the gooseneck)
there is a bolt that takes a 6 mm allen wrench, tighten the bolt, If it still doesn't tighten it might be stripped (there are ridges on the bars and the gooseneck).... Some bikes have 2 shims that fit around the bars, not sure if yours did or not, they could have fallen out when it loosened up if so you need to replace them good luck

The brake handle is loose on the handle bar. How do I tighten it?

There should be a bolt with an allen key head on it which is used to tighten the brake handle assembly to the handle bar.

See the picture at the following link:

Just use your mouse to click on the link, which is the underlined and highlighted text just above. This will open a new web browser page automatically for you and allow you to view the picture at the website indicated.

The bolt you need to tighten is the uppermost one in the pic.

Just use the correct size allen key wrench to tighten in up once you put it in a position for your hand to comfortably operate the brake.

Good luck.

How do I put the handle bars and tighten them on the stem?

at the base of the middle bar there should be a thin bolt that you tighten with a 2 inch pipe wrench and holding onto the bars and tire with your knees so bars stay straight.

I purchased the Dynacraft hot wheels 14 inche bike at Toys R Us. It is impossibe to tighten the revving handle bar. Should I return it. [email protected]

Yes. Exchange it for either a built bike or another one and try again.

It should be a fairly simple clamp that goes around the bars with a bolt and nut to secure it and tighten it down, if these don't work then the bike is useless and unrideable

How do we keep up the handle bars on a boys disney 16" cars bike

If the handlebars are "slipping" then you need to tighten the bolts on the stem. The stem is the piece that connects the handlebar to the bike itself and usually has 1, 2 or 4 hex headed bolts that hold the handlebar in place. The Park Tool website indicates that you should torque these bolts to 15-20 foot lbs. This is important because the potential for injury is high if the bars slip at the wrong time. If you don't have a torque wrench then take the bike to your local bike shop and let a professional with the proper tool do the work. This is so simple and quick a fix that they may not even charge you
