(Teardown) Reverse Engineering a Reversible Belt

A video describing how a reversible belt functions, some neat design features and how they work together to form a perfect union between leather and stainless steel!
I utilized a mallet and a driving pin in order to force my pin back inside of the buckle. This seemed to work well, but only time will tell how well.

Use a center punch to set the pin into the buckle (place on cement floor) . Mine came apart and I just fixed mine.

[@sargasm69]

Yup! That's exactly how I fixed mine as well.

[@ronharrison8978]

@@sargasm69, Me too, except I also put a dab of JB Weld into the hole before I drove the pin back in, then wiped off the excess epoxy afterward. Hopefully, that will prevent it from coming apart again.

This worked, thanks so much!

Pin on mine seems to have Sheared off. I might be able to get it out if I cut a slot and back it out. I don't think I can buy a new Pin mechanism. I see they sell replacement buckles online but not sure it's worth the cost, but I really like this Levi belt..

[@davidchin711]

@@irish89055 If your pin sheared off, I guess you would have to buy a new belt. If you brought a belt the same width , you might be able to switch the buckle. Good luck.

If it was a Designer one it probably cost you over 500 eur

[@luisantonio6413]

How can i fix mine? Don’t get it

[@ronharrison8978]

See comments above.

[@juyamah]

just remove the two screws and turn the belt over no need to dismantle the whole thing...

[@michaeldyer5998]

Worst buckle design ever and I use to think Dickies had cheap and decent products they're still cheap I'm disappointed they haven't removed them from retailers shelves

Guys if yours breaks, it’s garbage.
