"Needed" isn't a suitable word. Any tooth count will work, and only rider experience can say which will work best for him/her.
20T is fairly small, so I'd recommend a small freewheel too, to get any kind of speed out of the bike.
no it will be to easy to pedal
Each little piece that settles between the chain link is called a tooth, so consider the teeth on it as a sprocket. There are fixed gear or a free types, both connect to the rear hub on the wheel.
It's much more about the hub than it is about the wheel, and fortunately the threading on freewheel hubs is fairly consistent. Simply buy a freewheel that has a 28t sprocket in there and you should be good to go. Freewheels are just about "never" disassembled, but ridden as a unit till they're worn out.
you never need a new rim its only the hub you change
Assuming that the wheel does not have a stuck brake then the wheel bearing is froze. The wheel might break free by rocking the trailer front and back but probably the wheel will have to be removed and the bearing will need to be replaced.
Worn steering components
how do i change the front wheel studs
An example of simple gears is the chain, chain-wheel and free-wheel sprocket as used on a single geared bicycle. More complicated gearing is the modern bicycle's derailleur system of multiply chain-wheels, a cluster of sprockets, a chain, and gear changer mechanism.
Your free wheel pin is in the wrong location. Remove the free wheel pin, move the wheel inwards and replace the pin in the proper position
If from the front end and tends to do it more as you are traveling faster it is you front wheel bearings.
You usually have to take off the brake caliper, then the caliper mounting bracket to free the rotor.
free wheeling on a 4x4 means that the front wheels,when not locked or engaged in 4 wheel drive,will roll like a 2 wheel drive car this means less wear and tear on parts
