I have a pair of Mares X-Stream fins with the older style adjustable buckles...I am trying to remove them and add Mares bungee straps....How the heck do you remove the fin strap buckle??? Apparently I am not strong enough just to muscle it off by sliding it forward....whats the trick? I can't even get it past the fin knob an 1/8" of an inch!!
 
Just changed out the straps on an older pair of Mares Avanti Quattro fins last week. The key is to rotate the buckle 90 degrees to a vertical position, but it can still be a bit of a PITA. Here’s a link to a video that should answer all your questions.

 
Thanks that worked! I had to use rubber mallet!!
