First,you place the griptape evenly on the board.
(you can always ask for the griptape applied on by the skateshop)
press it down on the deck
Using the side of a screwdriver or a tool that can withstand grip tape elements, score an outline around the deck. Do
not file through the grip tape. Just remove the grit. This ensures complete adhesive of the grip tape along the edge of the
deck and serves as a razor guideline.
trim the sides evenly with the safety knife
remove the scrap.
Okay,this part is kinda hard.If you dont have a bearing pusher,use
the side of your truck.Put the bearing on the axle,then push the wheel down carefully onto the bearing until you hear
a "thump" noise.Do the same with the other side of the wheel and the other bearing.Repeat this with each wheel and bearings.
Screw the nuts on with your fingers to get it on tight so you can use the wratchet easier.
tighten the nuts at any tightness(make sure you dont do it to tight,or else the wheels wont move.)spin your wheels and
see if it goes at the right speed for you.
Turn your board over then stick your bolt through the hole to make a hole on the griptape.Do that for each hole
After all the hardware is in, turn the deck over and put the risers in place (if you use riser pads).
using a phillips head screw driver,stick the head in the bolt on the griptape side,hold then in place,then with
the wratchet tighten the nut.Move your trucks left and right a little,if a it's bit loose,tighten the nuts even tighter.
move your new board around a little on a smooth surface,if you hear rattling,or a squeaking noise,fix what needs to be
fixed (like tightening the trucks or loosening the wheels.
