What is the o d on rear hub

Need better wording/explanation of the question - why do you need the info? The hub is merely the center part of the wheel - to which the spokes are attached, as well as the cog(s) that drive the bike from the chain. The outside diameter of the hub is not very important.

Two banging sounds with each rotation

Most beach cruisers have a chain guard. There is always a slight "wobble" of the front chain ring, check to make sure the chain isn't slapping the chain guard. The chain guard can be adjusted. The chain also might have loose tension causing it to bounce around just enough to hit the chain guard. The opposite may be true, if the chain is too tight, you could be getting a popping sound at certain points on the chain as it messes with the gear teeth, in this case loosen the chain slightly to put a little slack in it.

Noise clanking, hard to pedal

check the chain tension, this could be caused by the chain being too tight. Loosen the rear wheel nuts, slide the wheel slightly forward and retighten the nuts. See if that helps. If it is still hard to pedal then the crank's bottom bracket may need to be adjusted and could require special tools that your local bike shop would have.

Rear wheel wobbely

Not enough info here. Is it the rim or the hub that is wobbly? If the rim is out of true (and not actually bent) the spokes can be tightened to bring it back into true. If the hub is loose then the bearings need to be adjusted. Either adjustment can be done by your local bike shop for $10-20. A broken spoke can also make the wheel go out of true, this will cost a little more to fix.

Why is my 29 inch huffy beach cruiser making a kinda loud clunking nice when i ride it . ive been having problems with the coaster brake ive tried to tighten it with a hammer and even disasemled it an

Your problem sounds like the brake assembly inside the hub is bad. If you bought the bike recently, take it back to the retailer. For proper repairs for this problem, I suggest taking your bike to the local bike shop.

How do you adjust chain

Flip bicycle up-side-down so it sits on the seat and handlebars. Loosen the 2 nuts that hold the rear wheel on. Sitting behind the bike on the ground, so that you can align the wheel to a straight position, pull the wheel back so that the chain is snug. You don't need to pull hard, just hold the wheel in place and straight. Using the other hand, slowly tighten the axle nuts back down until the wheel is held in place. Once the nuts are tight enough to securely hold the wheel, tighten the nuts. Sometimes this method will make the chain too tight. If this happens, repeat the process as above, only this time when you go to tighten the nuts back down, squeeze the chain slightly to create a bit of slack. Ideally, the chain will be tight enough not to skip or slip, and at the same time, loose enough not to make noise, bind up, or do any damage. There are "chain tensioners" available that hook around the rear dropouts of the frame and also around the axle, allowing you to tighten the chain to exact specs. simply by tightening or loosening adjuster screws. They will also help to keep things from loosening up over time. These make things much easier and I highly suggest looking into them. Use any of a variety of oils and lubes available, but try to avoid WD-40 for chain lube. It will stop a squeak for now and make things seem to move smoother, but in the long run, WD-40 will attract dirt and debris to the constantly moving parts of your chain and can shorten the life of a chain considerably. Hope this helps. ~Ed

Took back tire off not sure how everything goes back together

The 3rd nut you are asking about does go to the coster break. sould have a small bracket that wraps around the frame, then the break leaver goes in the middle. if it has a differnt bracket then it goes on what ever side that it is closet. in or out side, dont matter, as long as it dont hit the tire or rim. Good rideing, be safe. Vern

Loose chain

Many believe that removing a link will fix chain slack, this will not work if the chain has stretched over time. Take a 12" ruler and align one end with a pin and see if another pin aligns at 12". Any pin that extends beyond 12 1/8" indicates that the chain is too far gone and requires replacing.

The back tire is stuck....it wont turn...

There are a number things that could cause your problem. First place start is with the rim. Is the rim (wheel) true (straight), if it is bent it could have the tire or brake rubbing. If that is the problem you need to true or straighten or have the rim straightened. 2nd place to go is are the brakes too tight? If so adjust brakes. 3rd place to go could be a seriouse problem. Is the axle frozen. To test you will have to take the wheel off the bike. With the wheel loose from the bike see if the axle will turn if not try to loosen the bearing lock nut just a very little (like 1/8 of a turn) did it free up the axle or does the axle bind a little but still turn smoothly? If so Loosen the lock nut a little more. Just enough that the wheel will allow the axle to spin freely but not so loose as to allow the wheel to wobble sideways at all. If the axle turns and grinds and clunks your bearings likely need to be replaced and or greased. Do not just squirt oil into the bearings it is too light and will not last. I hope this helped, good luck!

Seems to petal to hard ??

Easy answer? Check you tire inflation.More complex? It could be a number of things starting with your chain too tight. Have someone hold the back of the bike up and turn the crank to see if it turns easy. Take note of the chain; at some point when turning slowly you should see it/feel it loosen. If it seems really tight undo your rear axle bolts and adjust the chain so it has about a quarter inch of slack. Make sure that the wheel is centered before you tighten the bolts back down. This also could be a problem: the back wheel wasn't secure and it is rubbing on the frame. Center the tire between the frame and tighten the bolts.If all that is OK then it could be bad or over tight bearings.Then it is really bike shop time.

Should we oil the chain?

Yes, get a very light chain lube. Apply to the chain, pedal to ensure that chan and gears get coated evenly, and wipe off excess with a paper towel or rag.
