my shop guy snapped it, they won;t do anything about it so please help me get back on my skis ive been skiing on my beaters for 3 years ago basically no edges,my skis were getting warrantied and took about 2 weeks and then i had to wait for my bindings to come 2 more days and its just frustrating i don't want a remount because i know and hopefully can find another fks brake.

It is not.


And to the OP, you need to take the bindings off and dis assemble the baseplate to replace the brake. Hopefully you know what you are doing. It is a BITCH to do
