To replace a board that has been previously installed with EBTY Hidden-Deck Fasteners, use a reciprocating saw to cut all the EBTY fasteners along the side of the board that is farthest from your house or building. Now carefully pry out the board, working from the side on which you cut the fasteners. Use a 1/8″ router bit or plate joiner (biscuit cutter) to cut slots (kerfs) at each joist on the side of your new deck board closest to your house or building. Now install the new board, sliding the slots over the existing exposed EBTY fasteners. Fasten the opposite side of the new board using screws and plugs at each joist. Use a 1/8″ drill bit with a 3/8″ countersink. Drive in a #7 x 2-1/4″ stainless trim-head screw.
