Pleasee help! When i first got my bike everything would work perfectly but one day it started squeeking and over time it got worse and worse now it makes a loud squeeking sound and sometimes it will make a loud clanking sound like something just broke. Also i have pedal brakes and if i even tap them the tire will lock up and skid and stall. I took everything apart and didnt find alot of shavings or rust. Pleaseee help me i just want to ride :) Thanks .duh. .wee.

Does the engine still run? Is the little strap connected to the coaster brake arm? When the noise first started was the time to try to fix it, cuz they are a lot harder to fix if you run it till it quits.

First have you pulled the chain and clutch covers and lubes the gears and clutch bar? As for the rearend it sounds like the gear that spreads the pads out is going in deeper than it should,if you had the brake arm off and move the sprocket a-bit it might have gotten screwed in.
