If the butts have a plate, it works out pretty well to replace the loops. There is a great description of this repair in the archives somewhere. You don't even have to remove the bridle tapes. Maybe someone can provide a link to the detailed instructions. I searched a little bit but was not having much luck. Its worth finding!
