Adjusting bindings for my new boots

NS i need some help, i replaced my old boots with some SPKs today and have gone down from 27.5 to 26.5. I've yet to take my skis in to get the bindings sorted but im kinda worried the heel piece will have to be remounted as the heel piece itself can move to a smaller size but the break lever can't, is this a problem?

Spark notes: How much adjustment can be made to a binding to accommodate a smaller boot before it needs to be remounted?

Yeah bring it in. They will know in a second. If you were going a half mondo size smaller I would guess it is adjustable to fit but a full size down may need remounting, (if done right it's really not too big of an issue).

I like the spark notes after a 3 line post...

depends on where the heel piece is on the track.  I was able to go from a 319mm BSL to 307mm BSL on my PX12s without a remount.

what kind of binding? you just want to click your boot in and turn the foward pressure screw to the right until it is adjusted properly, w/ marker it means the screw is flush with the housing, other bindings have similar systems, but all are slightly different. You should have no problems sliding the heelpiece in 1 cm- no remount necessary
