How To Remove Skateboard Trucks Instructions - Removing the Nuts

Jamie O'Clock
Put the smallest socket of your skateboard tool over one of the nuts on your skateboard trucks. It doesn't matter which one.

Then, put the screwdriver into the screw that is inside that nut. You want both hands on either side of the skateboard, as shown in the photo.

Once you have the skate tools in place, hold the screwdriver still while turning the socket wrench, and remove the nuts from the screws. It might feel a little awkward, holding the tools like that, but you should still be able to do it fairly easily.
