Introdução
Sometimes you need to change the buckle of your favourite backpack. It can be due to it being broken or simply not closing like it used to. We will show this quick fix that can be done in just couple of minutes of your time!
This guide provides a solution without actually sewing the buckle. If you need a repair guide with the sewing part, check out this guide.

Locate the buckle that needs to be replaced.

Following the yellow arrows, push the strap out of the buckle.

Keep pushing the strap and gently slide the last bit following the direction of the red arrows.

Keep going forward in the direction of the green arrow until the buckle is out of the strap.
