How To Remove & Replace Snap Fasteners

Old, misshapen, or broken snaps? Learn how to remove and replace fasteners quickly with minimal tools. I work with leather full time and this is how I remove snaps when I make mistakes, or sometimes a customer will send me an old item they've had for years and want it refurbished.

Thank you for a very informative video. I'm going to replace the old caps from my mother's 23 year Honda HR-V rear parcel shelf. And I just needed a clear view on how to remove and replace them. So again thank you for your advice, it's really appreciated on how to do it the professional way. You get a clear thumbs up from me.

Thanks! I just tried someone else's drilling method and it didn't work. Yor way worked perfectly, now I just need to get your pliers.

By the way, I have found that some heavy duty line 20 snaps cannot be pried off easily. To remove them, you can drill them off using 1/4" drill bit.

The bigger snaps are tough fellas. Sometimes drilling works, but sometimes it just spins the snap. The large cap and socket can be removed the same way I remove the stud and eyelet: pry it with the cutting plyers instead of breaking it off with the screwdriver.

Nice job! I needed to see it done with the snaps that I am using (line 20 snaps) and you did it ... with aplomb! subscribed

If you pop snap off to reset can you use the same snap or is it permanently damaged?

This helped alot! Reason as to why I'm here is because my snap on my holster rusted away

They only make a few sizes, you just have to try out what works.
