alanc_59 is 100% right.
It's more involved then "Just turning some screws". Every manufacturer has a different way of checking for the proper toe-heal pressure.
Even more important is your D.I.N. setting. It is set to your age, weight, height and skiing type. This is the number that will keep you from being a knee statistic.
It's too low of a cost to not have a tec do it.

when it comes to adjustment each binding is different. a quality shop will be able to take care of you. if it's not to big or small size change from old boots to new boots they might not need to be remounted. even some of todays bindings won't need to be remounted. just make sure you don't do it yourself. i've been a ski patrol for a number of years now and i can't tell you how many people I take off the slopes in a sled with blown out knees and boot top fractures because they tried to either adjust the bindings for fit or adjust the din settings so they wounldn't release. just remember,, speed is your friend and you can't get hurt in the air...

If they are rental bindings it is easy to adjust. If they aren't you will need to remount the bindings. This is somewhat expensive and you may be better off just getting some of last years rentals.

Please don't do it yourself. It's not worth bodily harm.
Take them to a ski shop, have a pro do it. I've skied all my life and I still have ski shops do that adjustment for me. They have the proper knowledge and tools.

If you dont know what you are doing, please go to a ski shop and have the tech do it. It should cost about 40 bucks for a mount and a saftey check.

Pay to get it done. This is not a do-it-yourself job. Your knees and legs will thank you for not breaking them.
