I believe my shop charges $15 for a break switch out.

You CAN bend breaks out, but it takes away from the integrity of the break and a lot of shops will discourage the practice.

you should try to get a narrower brake, a brake that is 2 too wide is easier to brake, also if land off kilter switch you can have other problems

dude youll be fine. ar6 are like max 87 in the waist. now the part of your ski where the actual brake wraps around is behind midsole and thus fatter your looking at maybe 10 mm wider than your skis but the brakes prolly bend in when you click in like every major binding. dont worry
