Can I convert a back pedal brake to a regular bike wheel?


I have a bmx mongoose bike and the handbrakes broke. The brake pads are basically "glued" to the tire on the back. I tried to fix it but couldn't get anything to work so I took the back brake pads off. I was wondering besides paying for a new brake system could I move the back pedal brake part from a new wheel I just got to my other back wheel on my bike? The back pedal wheel does not fit on my bike so is there a simple way with tools that I can switch it? Thanks.

trust me just get a new brake system its ver complicated to do what you saying and if your talking about pedal brakes they are kinda useless ever though they dont really brake just go to a bike store and to a sporting goods store and ask for new brakes or cables its most likly the cables and even a whole new brake system it wont cost over probably 50$ for a good one for a mongoose well depends on where you go

You removed your rear brake because it was out of adjustment? Don't get a new wheel, put the brake back on and adjust it so it works properly!
