U just have to push the plastic rivets through. The plastic rivets will drop into the boot and u just have to shake the boot for the plastic rivets to drop out.

I had to remove mine the same way when I transferred the pieces to my Vorsteiner CSL boot.

After transferring the pieces to the new boot, u have to hammer back the plastic rivets back into the holes and the Boot Stop will be fastened in place.

Cheers!

Just drill it out and replace the palstic rivets. They are not expensive and is a pain to try to save.
