If you have spoiled zipper on the jacket, which happens quite often and quite saddened), it is not necessary to carry a jacket into the workshop at all and change the whole lightning. It is enough to replace the slider and you can do it yourself, do it yourself. Watch?
The most important thing is that you need it - this is the slider of the same size as faulty on the jacket.
On many sliders on the reverse side, the number is specified, its size. If no numbers, you can choose visually, in the width of the zipper. The slider can be removed from old things or boots. You will also need pliers for work. Now let's try to correct the old slider, in most cases it continues to work perfectly after the correction
