dumb newbie here

I am working on a motorcycle and want the wheels to spin. I used the rotation tool to manually spin them and while I am in process, all is fine. When I go to play it back, the wheel doesn't just spin, in gets larger and smaller, like it is opening and closing. any thoughts?

You are using point animation where it is not called for. A rotating wheel is best done in a way that you create the wheel on a separate layer, place the origin of the layer at the hub of the wheel, and then rotate the layer, with or without bones.
