Riedell, Vanilla, and Luigino PACKAGE Skates.
Easy to Follow Mounting Instructions
1. Remove the truck assemblies from both plates. IMPORTANT Be sure to note the position of each truck before you remove the assemblies.
2. Sand the heel and the sole of each boot, so they are level, and parallel. This must be done properly to insure that the skate and the boot are not distorted after the skate is mounted.
3. Locate the center line of the bottom of the boot by using a Snyder Boot Marking Tool. If you do not have this tool, determine the center line by (a) locating the center of the heel, (b) drawing a line across the widest point of the sole (the position of the ball of the foot), (c) measuring an equal distance from both sides to the center, then (d) drawing a line through these two points.
4. Position the plate so the center line marks on the plate match the center line marks on the boot. Then adjust the plate forward or backward so the front axle is under the inside ball of the foot and the rear axle is under the center of the heel.
5. Once the plate is positioned correctly, mark the front mounting holes with a pencil, hold the plate securely, and strike the front and rear hangers sharply with a wooden mallet. This will make rivet marks on the bottom of the boot.
6. Use a punch to enlarge the rivet marks and the marks of the mounting holes.
7. Drill a shallow hole at each of the rivet points. Then drill a hole through the boot sole at the front mounting holes. This will allow the plate to lie flat against the bottom of the boot.
8. You are now ready to mount the plate to the boot. Use a countersink on the front mounting holes inside to make a place for the mounting cups. Insert the small bolts (with mounting cups) through the front mounting holes and attach the plate. Use lock washers, but do not tighten the bolts down at this time. DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE CENTER LINE MARKS LINE UP! Drill the holes through the heel of the boot. Use a countersink to relieve the leather for the heel of the long mounting. Do not use mounting cups on the rear mounting bolts. Insert long bolt. Use long washers, but do not tighten down the bolt at this time.
9. Check to make sure all the center line marks line up. THEN TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLTS. Use a Snyder Bolt Break-Off Tool to break off the portion of the mounting bolt that extends above the mounting nut. Then use a punch or hammer to round off the sharp edges on the tops of the bolts. Check the bolts for tightness.
10. Reassemble the trucks in the same location they were in when received. Connie's Skate Place
