Hi,
Do i need to remove the binding from the ski to put new brakes in the binding.Or is there a trick...i do not see annyway to do it without unscrewing the binding from the ski.

If i need to unscrew, anny problems with rescrewing in the same holes with some woodglue / epoxy???

You will need to unscrew the heel piece and take it off.

No
You need to take the bindings of the ski.. It would be a wise choise to put them on inserts after youre done..

No need for inserts if you do it well. Remove the screws carefully then when it comes to putting them back on use wood glue, never epoxy and thread the screw back wards first to refund the threads. If you are unsure just get a shop to do it. That way if there is a problem it's there responsibility to fix it and you help support your local shop.

Shure it can work that way, but inserts make the whole thing stronger, and if you need to replace another brake it is very easy and no problem..
