^ Generally the decks will have keys that are inserted along the side to unclip them from the bracket that is holding them in.

i used a wire hanger. try to find a picture of the stock deck and see how it clips in.

pretty much anything to push the metal tabs out will do.

but srsly... when you are facing the deck, there should be a slot on either side of the deck that is parallel to the side. slide something down there to push the clip off and pull the deck out. You need to leave whatever you jam in there in while you jimmy out the deck but it should be pretty obvious.

theres probably a trim piece right around the deck itself, take the trim off you will see the slots
