Coaster Brake Mag Wheels??

You know what, now that I'm looking at it. I think the axle is bent. Idk if you can see it in the photo

Bingo! That's what I was thinking, then you posted that, thank you.

I spent 5 hours yesterday trying to get the wheel to turn straight and I thought I was losing it lol.

That axle must have warpped when it seized the brake.

Your axle didn't warp (que Mario brothers tunnel music). What did you jump?

 

[YetiWoodz]

I didn't jump anything. I think that axle came from a used wheel I bought. I just used that axle because its longer so its easier to fit all the parts. I didn't ride it with that axle.

I'm trying to get my brake cable in the lever. The piece on the left is supposed to shove up into the piece on the right. But its like slightly too big. I know its supposed to be tight, but damn. I tried putting it in a vice, I tried hammering it, putting lots of constant pressure on it and it just won't go in. How am I supposed to do this?

It just sits there. Adjust the cable tight and screw the thread in all the way because it will stretch then a couple month’s unscrew that end to make it tight again

 

[YetiWoodz]

Ok I got it working, thanks

I was able to convert my coaster brake wheel to a regular freewheel. Apparently all you got to do is take out the brake shoes. Then keep everything else the same. I think that's pretty cool.
