Microsoft Surface Pro 8 Kickstand Replacement

Before starting your repair, unplug all cables and fully shut down your Surface Pro.

Open the kickstand to about 90 degrees.

While holding the kickstand behind the hinge with your finger, use a Torx Plus 3IP screwdriver to remove the 2.4 mm‑long screw from each hinge (two total).

Firmly grip the hinges and kickstand between your thumb and index fingers.

Lower the kickstand down to about 45 degrees.

Firmly secure the device to your work surface with one hand.

With your free hand, pull the kickstand out slightly and rotate it up so both hinges slide out.

Pull the kickstand out until both foam tabs slide out.
