Introduction

Snowboard bindings are easy to take apart and replace. In this guide we will show you how to replace a Union Force binding. Most snowboard bindings are very similar to remove, but there may be some slight differences.

Tools

Phillips #2 Screwdriver

Step 1

Release the binding straps by lifting up on the buckle and pulling towards the direction of the end of the ladder.
Not all binding straps will release the same way. If you are having trouble releasing your binding straps, please refer to your owner's manual.

Step 2

Move the straps and the highback plate out of the way in order to have clear access to the foot pad screw.
The highback plate is the vertical support plate located on the heel side of the binding.

Step 3

Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the panhead, 10mm wide, M4 x 12mm screw located in the middle of the foot pad.

Step 4

Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the four ovalhead M6 x 12mm screws that attach the base plate of the binding to the board.
Lift or slide the binding off the board and set the screws aside.

Hello!

Do you hace any suggestions on fixing the baseplate if it is broken? It has structural damage: the aluminum framing has splintered. Is there a way to fix it or is my only option to just buy new bindings? :(

Thanks!
