Hey im looking for a bit of help with a crank issue on a 12" kids bike. It will pedal fine for couple of metres and then locks up. Pedals are hard to push, I can free them and then it goes grand and locks up again.

Ive stripped it down and there is plastic bushing either side instead of bearings. Put it all together and its still doing it. If I wind the pedals back a few turns the pedals completly lock up.

The threads on the crankshaft are abit damaged and there is play in the bushing when all put together.

Would anyone know what I need to get/where to get the parts? I have myself all confused googling parts.

Its a 1 piece crank with 26T
