3 bar slider out plastic rectangle--is there a trick?

[the hack]

Newbie question: is there a trick to removing a 3 bar slider from its anchor/plastic rectangle? Think Kifaru Cargo panel and frame attach/detach. Thanks for the consideration!

Some are more stubborn than others, especially if the webbing has stiffened up. Get the 3 bar at an angle and try to keep the webbing flat as possible or it will bunch up. I usually grab a set of needle nose for the tougher ones. Once you clear the second nubbin on the side of the buckle you are home free, just have to fight the webbing at that point. If it's still fighting you, try to get the webbing wet. Might loosen it up some.

With the stubborn ones, use a needle nose. Most of the time I just turn them and pull them out with my fingers, but every once in awhile one requires a needle nose.

Thanks! Ye Olde pliers to the rescue!
