You need to have the following tools in place to allow you complete the task
Screwdriver A razor blade A file Skate tool Instructions
Put your deck on a flat surface to enable the nose and tails to face up while graphic faces down Peel off the backing on the grip tape and lay the grip tape on the deck. Press it down hard to do away with air bubbles. While pressing, start from the center outwards and ensure that you lay it evenly. Be keen on the adhesive that is on the side of the grip-ensure that you touch as little as possible. Use a file to trace the outline of the deck in preparation to be cut. There will be a white guideline that will guide you on how to cut Take your razor, holding it at 45 degrees and trim any excess grip tape. You should ensure that you stick to the outline. It is easier to start cutting from the center rather than beginning from the edges. Using the tape that you cut away as a sandpaper, rub the ends of the grip tape to make it smooth and do away with lifted areas that could peel out. Take your screwdriver and make holes through the grip tape. Be keen to punch the holes downward to avoid cracking. Put your screws through the holes Using your fingers, keep your hardware in place and attach your trucks, one at a time. You should also make sure that the trucks face each other. Using a skate tool, tighten the nuts over the trucks. Repeat the process on the other side to ensure the stability of the skateboard. Attach the wheels by sliding them unto the axle. Place the washer and the nut over the wheel and tighten as much as you can to make sure that the bearings are in place. Then loosen the nut with a few tums to give the wheels some space and to enhance a smooth movement. Make sure that the wheel moves back and forth freely To make sure that the bearings are in place, check the wheels and ensure that they are on the same level. Once you are done, test the skateboard by checking on the grip tape and trucks. Make sure the trucks are attached firmly to give you a smooth ride and to enhance safety. Finally, stand on the board and try rolling back and forth to check if the wheels move freely. If the trucks are tight, turn the nut on the kingpin counterclockwise. If your experience resistance when pushing, then it is recommended that, you loosen your wheels.
