Mounting Your Skateboard Trucks: A Guide
Skateboard trucks are essential for attaching the deck to the wheels, making it crucial they are properly assembled. If you're encountering difficulties with installing your skateboard trucks, watch this video to learn how to mount them. We will provide details on the necessary tools and outline the steps required to secure them to your board:
- Begin by using a tool or a nail to create small perforations in the grip tape from the underside of the deck.
- Turn the board over and use a small Allen key to expand the perforations.
- Proceed by inserting the screws through the deck.
- Align the truck with the screws and press it into position.
- Start fastening the nuts using your fingers.
- With a skate tool and a screwdriver, tighten the truck completely.
- Rotate the skate tool while keeping the screwdriver in a fixed position. This technique will prevent stripping the screw's head.
Repeat these steps for the other truck, and your trucks will be securely mounted!
