I bought some old look turntables at a ski sale a couple weeks ago, and now i'm trying to bend them so they fit on my hellbents. I've tried numerous times but i can never get them to bend past a certain point. If you have some wide fks that you arent using, i'll trade you mine. Or give you some money/beer whatever you'd like.
 
heat them up with a blowtorch and stick a cut off ski pole (or any pipe) on them and bend them. make sure you do it slow so they don't break. Then once they are straight let them totaly cool and then heat them up and bend it back with the ski pole in the right spot.
you don't even need to torch them it just makes it easier, just make sure you do it really slow.
 
i've tried putting them in a vice, and when i put the cut off ski pole over it, the ski pole always slips. hard to explain. i'll try the blow torch though thanks man
 
yeah just try not to melt the plastic part that actually hits the snow.but it just takes a lot of time and it sucks, but it is somthing anyone can do

 
yeah I have done it before. FKS brakes are pretty much the hardest since they don't have like a 90 degree angle like the axail 2.
search it on TGR, thats what I did the first time I had to do it.
 
its easiest if you get a shop to mount them on your skis, then just bend them from there. literally just bend them out straight, then bend them down its realy easy.
 
anyone want to buy these? i can put them back together or leave them apart. got the brakes to, one is slighty bent, the other is exactly the same.

dude, take them to couloir and see if the guy can give you a hand putting them back together, then get them mounted to your skis and bend the brakes out. dont just give up on them dude.
