How do you adjust Silvretta 400 - need a special wrench?
|
I got these from ebay, and the two bindings are not adjusted the same. I've tinkered but can't see how to loosen the clamps that hold the binding at the detents. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/OGcAAOSwcK9hoUxd/s-l1600.jpg |

There is a bar that pivots around the adjustment screw (11b in the image). This holds the retainers (7) in place. Turn the bar slightly, release the retainers, and slide to the appropriate notch (6). Then re-engage the bar. |
|
There is no bar on the 400. |

I don't remember the specifics, but I adjusted a set in the woods once. No special tools needed, probably just a screwdriver. |

On the older ones they had round brass colored thingys holding the teeth into the notches on the bar frame. Pop them off with a screwdriver and adjust to size and put the thingys back on. |
