   If I understand you correctly, isn't that just the type where you have to
clean out the remains of the old button, and the new one installs as a
friction fit, using a small tack hammer or something to drive it in? Maybe
also with a "little" dab of glue?
   I'm not a refinisher either, but I have replaced some of that type of
button over the years.
