I've never had rossi bindings and i got them mounted on my invaders 2 weeks ago and they work great. I set the toe din at 10 and was trying to set the heel din and it wont fucking work with the same screwdriver and toe and ive tried everything? Am i doing something wrong or anyone one know how i can set the heel din?

use an allen wrench instead of a phillips. way easier that way.

the allen wrench worked very easy! thanks that saved me a ton of trouble. Now the question is my toes are set at din of 9 and heels din at 8. Is that safe or should they be the same or the other way around or what?

Not that you should be messing with the DINs yourself, but I usually have my toe piece set at a lower DIN than my heel because I like to do a lot of presses and hate prereleasing.

You should ride them at what your shop origininally set them at and then fine tune them by increasing or decreasing by .5 of a DIN number.

1 word- Leverage.

Use the power of science. Put some vice grips on the screw driver and go at it

Man, yeah you have to put the heel piece up, then it will actually work. and it is a pain. But it helps a lot of you out the heel piece up.
