animation/object coming apart

[SgtSlick]

I'm a Noobie with Maya and am attempting my first animation of a product prototype that helps transport a tire when changing a flat. My first screenshot shows intitial position of tire at frame 1 which I set key for and will descend and sit on the cart. When I position my cursor at timeline frame 12 in order to then move the tire down onto the dolly rollers where it will sit and set another key, the handle assembly comes apart and moves out of it's position (screenshot 2).

I can't figure out why the handle parts are doing this and I've selected them in the Outliner and deleted history thinking that might do it but it didn't work. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think you may have keyframes set on some of the pieces of the tire holder thing.

Try selected one of the pieces that move and look in the channel box, if you see that the attribute values have a red background then they have keyframes. You can select all the attributes in the channel box, right click and hold, then choose Delete Selected.
