My bindings have developed annoying up/down play in the heel, the brakes don retract like they used to, and they click while Im touring. What can I do?
This problem usually occurs on high mileage bindings. It’s possibly caused by upward pressure of the brake levering the binding heel piece up and back (in touring mode). And also may be caused by wear as you rotate the heel between touring and alpine modes. This wears out a small internal thimble shaped bushing, thus causing play. This thimble bushing can easily be examined by removing the threaded torsional release setting barrel (just screw it out counter clockwise), removing the internal coil spring, then using your finger or sometimes a sharp hook such as a dental pick to pull out the plastic bushing/cap that rides on the end of the coil spring. (This disassembly procedure is used to install TLT brakes).
