      Wooder tire wedge is one of those tools nobody needs, but, it makes everything so much easier when you have one is well worth the twenty or so bucks it costs. 

      That said, i used to use the back of a wrench to center and push the wheel back, then tighten the nuts while holding it in place. Some people use tennis balls.

      1 loosen rear bolts after unscrewing pegs 
      2 center wheel
      3 tighten rear bolts

      Also, screw on pegs are awful and lead to bent axles quickly, ditch them.

      It looks like the wheel just shifted in the dropouts, so loosen the bolts inside the pegs, straighten the wheel well tensioning the chain so it has just a little bit of give when you push on it. Once you’ve done that, give the wheel of spin to see if the wheel is out of round or wobbles left and right. Lastly, hold the frame with one hand and the wheel with the other and see if you can wiggle the wheel.

      If straightening it worked then you’re good. If it’s out of round, but doesn’t wiggle win you try to move it with your hand then a local bike shop can True it for you. If it does wiggle with your hand, then the wheels toast and the only thing you can do is replace the whole thing because you will have blown the hub bearings.

      Loosen the axel nuts. Straighten the wheel and use the handle of a hammer to wedge between the tire and the frame to give it a firm hold in place then proceed to tighten the axel nuts. Your welcome

      Is it the angle of pic, or does the sprocket look like it’s bent/ not sitting properly with BB?
