This operation requires special tools. I suggest you take your bike or back wheel to the local bike shop for assistance

This is a complex operation requiring special tools. I suggest you take your bike to the local bike shop for proper completion.

If its a new purchase still under warranty return it to Walmart. If its older or has been abused, take it to the local bike shop for correct repairs.

Thatwoul be a used bike.Call the mfr or customer service and they can give you official details.

Sorry about the request for more info about the bike I did not see the small print right above the How do I. Anyway this link should help...I hope 26 Women Mongoose XR 75 Dual Suspension Bike Personally, here in AUS bikes brought from Wallmart type department stores are very general purpose, meaning not professional, so the price doesn't hold in fact depreciates quite quickly so if you want to know for selling purposes than ask google, eBay, Amazon with words like used whether or not it has been, like unwanted gifts. If I had to guess I'de say anywhere between $60 and $90 at best, but please feel free to do your own investigation and good luck.

Eh? Maybe try reading the caption of your posting. The GS might say something about model or make but serial number usually covers date, place, and order off an assembly line somewhere, if that much.

Those look like standard three piece cranks. You need a special drank removal tool. The one made by Park Tools for pulling square taper cranks should work, CCP-22, they are about $15 at your local bike shop (LBS) or online. If you have Octalink or spline drive cranks they have a tool for that too. The cranks are usually held in place with a 14 or 15 mm bolt or nut on square taper bottom brackets and you can use a regular ratchet and socket to remove these. Once removed, you thread in the crank removal tool (mentioned above) and then turn the handle until the crank comes off (this is very tight and takes a lot of "elbow grease" to turn the tool handle). To remove your pedals, you can use a 15mm open end/box end wrench to remove them. Keep in mind that pedals thread into the cranks in the same direction on both sides, so in other words one side is reverse threaded (this has always been the non-drive side crank).

Those are ball bearings. If they are out of the wheel you have a complex problem and repair. I suggest you take the wheel to your local bike shop.

Condition and appearance are important. If its in top condition it will be worth more than a junked out one. I usually buy this bike for about $ 25, then repair or tune it up and resell it for about $ 45. But that's my area. The same bike in Chicago will bring about 75-100 in full working order.

Look on e-bay for comparison. Bikes are a lot like used cars, the area and condition determine value as well as the make and model. Also you might checkout craigslist.org for other bikes like yours

Usually takes special tools. The pedals should be removed, the crankset is either a single arm or a 3 piece unit. If its a single, remove large nut on one side of the crank, usually the left side. Then remove the inside cone, the bearings are visible and should be removed. The last is the crankarm itself. It will only come out if thew left side bear is removed. Twist it gently and it usually comes out at the 3 o'clock position. If its a 3 piece crankset, special tools are need to remove. SAuggest you take it to the nearest bike shop.

See previous answer

they're ok

A replacement can be purchased on ebay or amazon or your nearest bike shop. They can also help you install the new part

Hello there, Lots of demos here friend. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bicycle+chain+removal

This operation takes a special tool, which fits inside the crank arm. There is a nut or bolt which must be removed first. My suggestion is to take your bike to the local bike shop. They have the tools and expertise to complete an "spocketaktamy". The special tool will cost more than a service at the bike shop.

Mongoose is the run of the mill brand on the utilitarian side. They are a perfect step for a kid or an adult getting into biking. All aluminum is great because it is so light weight but that is pretty much the normal material for bikes these days. If you become a serious biker you will find out what you do and do not need by riding a Mongoose.
