You can't, that's where.  You'll have to have them  bent by a shop you trust.  If they mess up on them, you'll need to find an old set of Looks and take the brakes off of those.

i love how everyone buys 185s cause they are IN, yet they dont even know they dont have wide brakes. thats a binding you get when your preformance level is above everything else. you know when its time for race bindings. most people dont need them. they are more of a pain in the ass to ride with than normal bindings anyway. if i didnt need them, i would ride them.

Easy thing to do. I recomend putting the binding back together and then punching the breack back in with a hammer and something metal. I think used a chisel. Makes it easyier.

haha wow well that's really confusing... Can I just take a wrench or something and just bend them while the brake is on the ski? I don't really want to take my bindings off to do this, but if needed i might just get a new pair.

nope. at least not major bends. youll break the housing oarts that keep everything in place. plus its impossible to do it nicely. if you dont feel comfy doing it, take it to a shop. they will.
