Introduction
This guide is intended to show you how to replace the bushings on a RazorX DLX Electric Skateboard. This guide can be used for other standard skateboards as well. The bushings on a skateboard allow the user to turn and pivot correctly. Using the skateboard with worn or damaged bushings may make it unsafe to use. There are a variety of replacement bushings that range from soft to hard, soft bushings require less effort to turn while harder bushings require more effort. The level of softness used for the replacement will be dependent on the user. Before you start, make sure the power button is switched to off.
