How to Mount Skateboard Trucks
Skateboard trucks are essential for connecting the deck to the wheels, making it crucial to assemble them properly. If you're encountering issues with mounting your skateboard trucks, watch this video for guidance on attaching them to the deck. We'll cover the necessary tools and the steps you need to follow to get them on your board:
- First, use a tool or a nail to poke small holes in the grip tape from the bottom of the deck.
- Flip the board over and widen the holes with a small Allen key.
- Next, insert the screws through the deck.
- Align the truck with the screws and push it into place.
- Hand-screw the nuts onto the screws.
- Fully tighten the truck using a skate tool and a screwdriver.
- Rotate the skate tool while keeping the screwdriver steady to prevent stripping the screw's head.
Repeat the process for the second truck, and your trucks will be securely mounted!
