well if you're like me and you suffered a broken zipper what do you do well if you look closely on the back of the zipper there's a code if you take that code and run it through Google you'll find suppliers who will sell replacements to this here so for a few dollars plus shipping I have a brand new one I'm going to replace to get the old one off you need to remove the stock here now I'm going to use the wire cutting portion of these needle nose pliers however if you just have the wire cutters you can use the tapered area here to wedge underneath the stop which I'm already done and I do an eye you open this up so that this pops off now the old one will come off this required a little persuasion to pull the Leon Superstock loss using the needlenose pliers to get a good grip of the fabric put the zipper piece back on I'm good to go put the stop back into place using the needlenose pliers crimp it back down we're good to go this whole repair is roughly bought ten bucks get me on the dry cleaners - zipper outside - stitching new zipper on here and just like that it's like brand new thank you
