Call Dynacraft (bike maker) at 1-800-551-0032. My daughter's rear tire was flat and they sent out a new tube for free. She had the bike for only about 4 months. They also sent out a new rear tire as bearing/coaster brake assembly was make noises. The only problem is her original rim was purple and they sent out a silver colored rim as they don't have purple replacement part. I also had to install the tube and tire on the new rim. They only send replacement parts not assemblies.

Hub and bearing assembly mounting

All W-body cars are equipped with sealed hub and bearing assemblies. The hub and bearing assemblies are not serviceable. If the assembly is damaged, the complete unit must be replaced.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle with jackstands.
3. Remove the rear wheel and tire assembly.
4. If equipped with rear disc brakes, remove the caliper, bracket and rotor.
5. If equipped with rear drum brakes, remove the brake hose bracket and drum.
6. If equipped, detach the ABS electrical harness.
7. Unfasten the four hub/bearing-to-knuckle attaching bolts, then remove the hub/bearing assembly.

To Install:

3. Install the rotor, caliper and bracket or drum and bracket, as applicable.
4. Install the wheel and tire assembly.

6. Connect the negative battery cable.

What's happening is that the latch is not releasing - a safety feature so the tire doesn't drop down onto the road should the cable or assembly rust/break etc. While researching I got this info from another forum: Jack up the rear of the van. Wind the spare "up". now put your jack under the spare to support its weight. Then "unwind" it. now look up through the spare to the winch assembly. You'll see a latch at the back - towards the rear of the van. Reach in with a long screwdriver and release it by moving it towards the rear of the van. If you've unwound the winch you should be able to move the plastic holder downwards. Once you've done this you can allow the tire to come down and remove it. Now remove the winch assembly - 5 or 6 bolts. Odds are you'll see apiece of wire hanging or it may have fallen out. You'll also see a spring clip - it clips onto the underside so when you unwind the winch it should pull the aforementioned latch to release the tire. You should be able to get this back in place by fiddling with it, or just attach a wire to the latch to work it manually. Or buy a new winch assembly - approx. $150. Good luck

The final drive assembly has to be unbolted from the swingarm and it is removed with the rear wheel. Once the assembly is off the bike, the axle can be removed and the final drive separated from the wheel.

remove the rear tires and the brake drums and check and see if the wheel cylinders are leaking
