Hello NS. Tuning up this week getting ready for season . My park and beater boards have pivots on them, I just noticed the heel piece on one ski is for s lot of play in it . How do I remove the top plate to access /,inspect mount screws? I believe I may have pulled a mount screw out and not noticed last year .

Do you have the FKS/Pivots with the 360 degree heel or the pivot/power bindings with the 200 degree pivot heel?

I didnt think there was a fks140 in 2005, only the 155/180 race versions.

Back out the forward pressure screw all the way then pull it off to the back hard, but you've probably just got play in the heelpiece.

the heel piece screw will slide it off the track, then there will be four screws under that. if they are truly loose, you should take the ski to a shop so they can either helicoil it or remount them.

I remember after a while the track plate would get loose and they wold need some tightening. The track plate would have some play to it after the three years I rode on them.

Yes, looks like my model, mind are all silver though . There's always been some play/ wiggle in the track plate, but this one is quite excessive . I'll check them out tonight and see what I find . Thanks for help.
