- 1). Purchase a small screwdriver that is the correct size for the black screws that hold the truck, the metal wheel assembly; to the Tech Deck board. Screwdrivers of the correct size for Tech Deck screws are commonly available. Use this screwdriver to tighten or adjust the screws holding the truck to the board.
- 2). Create a hole in the center of a pencil eraser using a thumbtack or push-pin.
Use the pencil as a wrench to tighten the nuts which hold the wheel to the axle. As the nut tightens and reveals the axle, let the axle slide into the hole you created with the push-pin. If this doesn't work, reinsert the push-pin into the hole in the eraser and wiggle it around to enlarge the hole, then try again to tighten the nut on the axle. - 3

Remove the plastic pipe from a disposable ball point pen which contains the ink. It is not necessary to remove the ball point assembly, which could cause a messy ink spill. Carefully cut a notch one to two millimeters long down the side of the plastic ink tube, starting at the open end. You can use this ink pipe as a wrench to tighten the hard to reach nut underneath the truck of the skateboard. This handmade wrench can also loosen the wheel nut from the axle.
