I bought some skis a month or so ago and since they had integrated bindings I just mounted them myself. I suppose for liability reasons the ski companies don't want to encourage that, so the instructions that came with the binding were really lame. But it wasn't too hard to figure it out since there were numbered slots for the boot sole length.
The only thing that was tricky was setting the forward toe pressure. The instructions made no reference to it so I had to look it up on the internet. My binding has the type where when the boot is snapped in, the forward pressure screw should become flush with the housing. Piece of cake. Then it was just a matter of setting the DIN values to what I wanted. I suppose most people prefer to leave that to a shop to set, but I prefer to set and test that myself.
