I just noticed that one of the brake arms on my griffon bindings is bent foward from the other one, but the actual arm doesn't look any different from the other one so i cant bend it back.

Anyone know what i should do because i cant ski with them because the brake will dig into the snow even when its up.

Thanks, and i will try put a picture up later if my camera stops being an ass.

I don't really understand why you can't bend it back

It doesn't look any different because it's bent under the foot bed part, not on the arm. You should be able to bend it back...

Because the arm isn't bent any differently to the other one so i cant see where to bend it to correct it, i can only see that its in a different position to the other arm.

You shouldn't have to... just bend the brake up.

I had the same problem. Like someone said  , just bend it back . I did slowly and gradually so wouldn't brake it and worked just fine. Cheers.
