Removing bindings from old skis

I was just curious as to if anyone had any advice. I'd rather not fuck up the only set of bindings that I've got. I'm taking these bindings off my old Candides and going to have them mounted on my new Fujatives. Advice appreciated.

Just unscrew them. If your worried that much, just take them to a shop.

go to a shop...... then go to the counter and put on a perty face and say 'scuse me mista... could ya take these offa these and put em on these' then give him 20 bucks and your all set........ or just put them into a vice and beat the shit outta them with a sledge hammer that would do the trick too. seriously though go to your local shop it will cost 20 bucks and it will be done right.

haha, they're BEAT TO SHIT Dynastar Candides mind you. Perhaps you're thinking about the new Salomon's. No such luck...these skis are shit, the Fujatives will suit me much better. Haha...I think I'm gonna go ahead and unscrew them, I could care less about the Candides.

^either ways the candide pro models suck, and yes just unscrew the bindings and pull them off, if you want to use your old skis as beaters just fill the holes with epoxy or heil coils.. but epoxy is way more getto and cooler.

taking them to a shop is much safer, but yes using a screwdriver and i heard paint thinner to eat the glue away, but i heard that from my friend who is 1/2 retarded and has thrashed skis.

yeah but i doubt the glue would still be a factor. just unscrew them and get some goof off to get rid of the rust/dirt stains all around the holes.

It's metal versus wood and laminate...I think the screw will win every time. If anything strips it'll be the threads in the ski.

It's really as simple as it sounds. Find a big screw driver and have at'er. Be careful though, when you take off the heel piece the brake might pop of with enough springy force to chop your head clean off...

just bring it to a shop, and ask them to do it...it takes like 5 minutes, most shops do it for free too.

taking them off is easy, putting them back on is scary, just get a drill with an extension and put downward force on the drill(lean on it) and go slow, i stripped one of the screws on my bindings but i go it out after awhile

I just did this last week. Most screwdrivers at home aren't the right size, so I just went in to REI and asked if I could use theirs. Took about 2 minutes to get em off there.

there's no reason to bring it to a shop to take them off. i work in a shop, and all you do is unscrew them. the only glue used in them is similar to elmers and it's not strong. it's only there to lubricate and seal the hole when you are originally screwing them in. just make sure you save all the screws. what kinda bindings are they, cause for salomon, you must take off trhe brake, and for looks, you have to take off the whole heel thing to get at the screws. it's really super simple though

Unscrewing them is as simple as unscrewing anything. But if you're immediately having them mounted on a different ski, just take in both sets of skis. That way the shop will fill the holes on the old skis for ya... not that it matters that much.
