Need help with binding problem

I need to move my bindings just a bit to make my boots fit. I’ve maxed out the screws on the back and need just a little bit more space (as seen) I really want to avoid having to remount them but if I have to I will. Any ideas on how I could make some space?

Probably best not to it might fuck up your riding. I'm not sure if there are pivot heelpieces that have longer length but maybe an fks heelpiece could work, they have same mounting pattern. The picture looks like if you stomped hard it would clip in but you probably tried it already.

From the picture I thought the same thing. OP did u try putting ur body weight on the heelpiece and also use ur hand to reach back and pull up on the dildo

Edit: I suggest this cuz it happened to me with one of my pairs of skis when I changed boots that the only way for me to click in was manually pulling with my hand to click in

Yeah I really tried to put weight on it and couldn’t get it down. I’m tempted to file but I’d probably regret it in the end.

I never had any issues, but sometimes I could feel when the boot wasnt in there perfectly so I just clicked out and did it again making sure to stomp harder to get the boot fully in there. It was also with some marker griffons, not pivot 12's, but If doing that clicks ur boot in why not give it a shot on snow

don't file them down because in the future that boot will instantly fail a release test and no shop will touch them. DIY and ski gear (boots, bindings) don't mix super well. If your heel piece is maxed, you need a remount. if you find yourself having to bend down and manually lift it up, there's way too much forward pressure and once you're in you won't come out. do yourself a favor, and remount if you know how, and take them to a shop if you don't!

you can get 1-2mm with a binding freeom insert, and up to 10-11mm with a quiver killer rescue set, maybe a few mm more with a helicoil, you would need a drillpress/centering tool to drill off center holes and its a bit of a PITA but doable. might make a guide as Im doing just that on a pair of skis now shortly
