| So when I was replacing my TD wheels on my Toxic deck, the bolts wouldn't come off. I was trying really hard to loosen the bolt, but it wouldn't budge. So i tried to shatter the wheel with pliers (I know, I'm stupid. I really needed these wheels off, they were thrashed.) While doing so, a) the wheel became deformed, but didn't come close to shattering b) the hanger on my truck chipped and broke off. So now I'm setup-less. Crap. So now I'm either going to wait for the holidays, to get a nice complete: Berlinwood, FF g6's, and Spinal trucks; or I'm going to buy an inexpensive setup soon (something under $30 for a complete). Any suggestions on an inexpensive but good complete? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. |

| This happened to me awhile ago. I got pissed off... What I did: Bought a tech deck (I KNOW I'M CRAZY), and used that until I had enough money in the holidays to buy a proper setup. I understand your depression, but a tech deck just supplies the need to fingerboard while you wait to buy a new deck. And if this doesn't work for you, buy some cheap trucks and a redemption? ++ I also got this problem again, cause I fail, and when I bought a blackriver truck, it fits perfectly to get a nut of any size out. So buy a Blackriver tool if you're really desperate. Hope this helps! If not, :< |

| you say you wanted to change your td wheels, so, you have other td wheels I'm assuming? And your truck snapped, nothing else, so, you just need a new truck? Either buy a td, or if its a 29-30mm wide deck, go to www.redawn.net and get some wides for 3 euros. If your deck broke also, there are many many great cheap decks, panic, redemption, motive, creekwood, etc. All available for under 15 dollars. |

| Thanks, dude, I might get a Redemtion. Also, there's a 4Corner complete for 24 or 25 dollars on eBay. Anybody used one? It looks decent, as well. @Kerry my deck is crap too, I'm looking into just a whole new setup |

| well.. for the price you'll get a cheap complete, it'll have td wheels. So, I'd suggest one of the cheap deck companies I said, use the td wheels you have, and buy redawn trucks. If you get a redemption you get a free sheet of tape, and then you'd have a setup. Or get redawn tape and go with another company deck. Depends what shape you like |

| You can get a redemption complete which is what I got. Comes with the board, tape, trucks, hardware, viton bushings, and wheels that are a little bit better than tech deck wheels. |
