tech 8 buckle replacement?

[udwall]

so the bottom buckle ( closest to the toes) broke right where it enters the round pivoting part on my tech 8's. does anyone know how to get the old one out ? i have a new one but haven't figured out how to get it out it's pretty much flush with the pivot thanks

I'm not sure if anyone here is using those boots so you might have better luck with this question over on "thumper talk dot com".
