How to Mount Skateboard Trucks
Skateboard trucks are what connect the deck to the wheels, so it’s vital that they’re assembled correctly. If you’re having problems putting on your skateboard trucks, then check out this video on how to mount them to the deck. Here, we’ll show you what tools you need, and the different steps you need to take to get them on your board:
- First, using a tool or a nail, poke small holes in the grip tape from the bottom of the deck.
- Flip the board around and widen the holes using a small Allen key.
- Now it's time to put the screws through the deck.
- Align the truck with the screws and push it in.
- Screw on the nuts using your fingers.
- Using a skate tool and a screwdriver, fully screw down the truck.
- Rotate the skate tool while keeping the screwdriver in one position. This will help you avoid stripping the screw's head.
Repeat the process on the second truck and your trucks will be mounted!
