Monark Fitness Cycle Questions & Answers
The steel on the crank arm of my Monark 817e exercise bike broke, how do i remove it, it has no cover/nut/bolt/washer holding it to the axel
It's very difficult to find someone familiar with a particular model of a particular brand of exercise bike, but I pulled up some pics that seem to show that yours can have one of two types of crank. One is called a "one-piece" crank. Typically it is removed by unscrewing parts from the left side after removing the left pedal (left-hand/reverse threads). You may have to remove the housing to access and remove the parts. The other is a 3-piece cranks, and the arm will have a plastic cover at the axle. If you remove that dust cap you will see a bolt underneath. One has to remove that bolt and then use a specialized tool (crank extractor) to remove the crank arm. Check with a bike shop (take in the unit or take some good pics) for replacement. I’m happy to help further over the phone at

Tomahawk E Series Exercise bike loud peddling sound
Standard WD40 is just a 'quick fix' as it isn't an actual oil unless the can is clearly labelled as "Bike All Condition Lubricant". It'll be best to buy a proper light oil like 3in1, 151 Super oil or an actual chain lube.
This 'clickey' noise. Is it random and happening every so often or is it a constant, regular click that changes with the speed your pedalling at? Check for slack in the chain. as you wiggle the chain up and down there should only be about a centimetre of movement in the chain. If it's too slack or too tight it can make strange noises. Check the axle bolts and nuts to make sure they're not loose. Check the wheel is mounted straight. If it's turned left or right the chain will 'skip' as it's slightly missing the cog teeth on the wheel. Use the frame at the rear end of the wheel as reference and measure how far the side of the wheel is from the frame on both sides. It should be about the same both sides.
