Alpinestars SMX5 boots - removing the toesliders?

[growse]

I had a bit of a low-speed spill yesterday (separate thread about that to come) and one of the things that saved my feet were some new Alpinestars SMX5's that were literally a week old.

Looking at the damage to the boot, the toe slider on the left side is fairly scuffed up,but they appear to be replaceable. I was going to get a set of magnesium ones to replace it with, but can't figure out how to get the old ones off.

Any ideas? I'm sure it's really obvious, but I just can't see it

They come off fairly easy, there is an arrow on the toe slider that shows what was to pull it. Pull the slider the same was as the arrow but at the same time pull the plastic toward the toe of the boot.

Your lucky my vesy low speed scuff with the ground put a hole in my smx5's
