Often we get people wanting to swap out their D-Rings and worrying about it a bit. It's actually very straight forward and takes a couple of minutes.

1) Undo the strap:



2) Turn the ring around:



3) Lever open the join.



4) Remove D Ring



5) Gently lever open Rectangular Ring. (Wrap the pliers with a little bit of tape to prevent scratching).



6) Slide back onto loop and close ring, turn round ring... Volia job done.

I don't think I've ever seen a post addressing this. Well done!

Good job!

I've been thinking about changing mine to rectangular ones aswell. What are the measurements on yours? They look good I think!

Oh, and how did you manage to shoot pic number 4? Cam between shoulder and cheek snapping it with your tongue?

He either hired a stunt hand, or he finally got the third arm.

Timer set and synching it with camera hanging in mid air is my theory.

I've done this on several of my jackets.

BE SURE you have a VERY strong pair of pliers. Those D rings are stout!

Apparently I have a very flexible tongue.

Yes, be careful guys and gals, just lever gently... it should open up fairly easily you only need a tiny gap anyway.

Well, since Gobler has a similar thread, as he mentioned, and the tutorial info looks pretty tight, we're gonna go ahead and close shop. Feel free to look through the window, though.
