Bent brakes

[TGdude]

My brakes on one ski bent in somehow so they down go down when i fall and sometimes drag in the snow. I've tried to bend them back into position but i feel like im going to rip the whole brake out before i make any progress.

any suggestions?

A shop tech should be able to fix that no problem.

either take them to a shop or if you don't want to pay (some shops don't charge for minor things like that, but some do) you can take the break off and put it in a vise and bend it back that way. Most breaks it's just one screw to take it off (unless you have turntables - in which case, just go to a shop it will be WAY easier). The screw is usually located on in the middle on the heel piece right behind (or in front of) the break.

Just find a smaller local shop and usually they'll do the job for free if its a simple matter of just using proper equipment to bend it back.

Buy a new break or just take it out and then try bending it back. You could heat up the break arm and bend it back if your afraid of it snapping.
