hey guys, i just totally messed one of my brakes tonight, its like bent over to one side and i have to force it by hand to go up high enough to ski properly. should i just take a wrench and force it fairly straight, or have a tech guy do it? i have to get them tuned up soon anyway. thx in advance.

Instead of going thru the trouble of blowtorching it get a strong friend to bend it for you. Trust me, its a lot easier to bend it by hand, you just have to be strong. Good luck.

I messed up a brake, and I just took it off, the binding still holds my boot in, the ski just flies away if it falls off

I have had some problems with my tyrolie brakes to. I have to bend them almost everytime i lose my ski after a fakie landing, and i lost my brakes one time this season. now my brakes dont 'go off' everytime i lose my ski. so last time i lost it my ski didnt brake so it hitted a little kid.

same problem, look p10s for me. the worst part is that to change it, they need to completly remount the heel piece

you dont need to remount the heel for a new brake, they snap right in.
