Un-mounting and re-mounting bindings
Un-mounting and re-mounting Salomon Profile Skate bindings.
We recently bought a new pair of Atomic skis for my daughter and an older pair of Peltonen skis with a nice pair of binding. Can anyone advise me on taking the bindings off the old pair and re-mounting them on the new pair? I did the same thing with a pair of NNN bindings last year but the seemed easier to dismantle without trashing them. Thanks in advance. John |

Un-mounting and re-mounting bindings
First of all "Phillips" screwdriver does not work.
You need to make "pozidrive" (spelling?) tip. Take a Phillips tip #P2 and grind the end of to fit the screw. Then get a l shape screwdriver to get to the screw under a lock on Salomon binding and also grind about 3mm of the tip. If you need to install new binding, you need to know "balance point" of that ski or replicate the same from old ski, if it is perfect for you. |

[Be advised that this is my experience as self-learned hobbyist, there may be better ways, and I hope those who know about them comment on the more suboptimal parts of my description!] The hard part is if it's the old kind of plastic plug holding the rear end of the long ridge plate - then you have to carve the cone-shaped head off (sharp knife, or use a drill), from the side it look something like this: ---------------------------- Top of plate \ / - head to remove || || -------------------||------- Bottom of plate/top of ski | | | | Ski mold || I don't think you should try to pull out the remains of the plug. Cut it off at the ski surface, and gently re-drill if you want to reuse the skis. On newer profils, there's a screw instead of the plastic plug, the screw is covered by a round plastic plate with a notch in it. Anyway, with the plug head/screw removed, GENTLY lift the ridge plate with a sharp knife. It is taped to the ski, and is quite fragile. The plate is mated with the clamp, but once all the tape is loose it is easy to separate them. The clamp is fastened by three screws, that might be glued and hence a bit hard to get loose. Two of them are hidden under the long plate and will appear when the plate is removed. The third hidden beneath the "ID-plate" at the front. Regarding the remount - my advice is that you take the skis to your favorite store/technician and make them drill the holes. They have the jig, and maybe more importantly a more or less foolproof drill. The rest is easy. You my want to "seal" the screws wih some glue - but don't overdo it if you want to remove them again. If you carved the platic plug - just replace it with a normal screw. /Tomas -- Caps and foobar are normally not parts of my address. |

Thanks Tomas,
