Introduction
This guide is intended to show you how to replace the trucks on a RazorX DLX Electric Skateboard. This guide can be used for other standard skateboards as well. The trucks on a skateboard connect the board to the wheels and also house the bushings. Having damaged trucks can make the skateboard unsafe to use. Before you start, make sure the power button is switched to off.
