A device for use with a skateboard and a skateboard truck assembly to facilitate the removal and replacement of various component parts of a skateboard truck assembly including the bushings and the tension bolt, which is used to join the base plate and the axle assembly. The bolt, which is inserted through the aligned apertures in the axle assembly and the base plate, penetrates into the area beneath the base plate where it emerges and mates with the threaded nut. The device is supported by the bottom surface of the board and held stationary inside a pocket formed within the underside of the base plate and consists of integrally formed components including a generally flat base, a sloped guide platform situated upon the base, and an upstanding heel section formed at the base of the sloped guide platform. The guide platform is constructed according to a specific angle of inclination to fix the nut's orientation and to enable the nut and the threaded end of the bolt to properly align and engage. The upstanding heel section is provided to arrest the nut from deviating from its desired angle and position of alignment. Formed along the center portion of the heel section is a slight recess that aids in the proper positioning of the nut and to keep the nut immobile. Inside the pocket, which receives and generally conforms to the size and shape of the pedestal, is a hollow area, which holds the nut and keeps it confined to prevent rotation.
