Inleiding
If you need to replace the kickstand of your Microsoft Surface Pro 6, this guide will show you how.
The kickstand is the part of the tablet that allows it to be propped up. If it breaks or is damaged, you might want to replace it. It’s possible that your kickstand could become wobbly from overuse or if you drop it. The repair is not a difficult process, and you won’t have to take apart the actual Surface Pro 6. You’ll just have to remove and replace the kickstand itself.

Any way to replace the hinges themself?
Also trying to find this out.
Thank you so much. I use the Surface 6 in portrait mode to read and use the kickstand as a grip/hand rest to prevent wrist strain. This meant the screws came loose constantly and I had to try and tighten them using my fingertip; not ideal. With the newly purchased Manta kit, and this guide, they are properly tightened again for the first time in over a year.
If you find that that the kickstand screws are still coming loose, I suggest applying a dab of blue Loctite (or nail polish if in a pinch) to the screws to help them hold in place.
The hinge mechanism has come completely loose so that the stand will not glide back into position. I thought it was the adhesive pads keeping it in place. Reading the instructions above, I now see that these pads can be put back into position. There is a whole Youtube showing the headaches of this kickstand hinge situation. The best bet is to buy a cover with a kickstand attached.
