The old buckle needs to be drilled out of the shell and the new one needs to (should) be put back in with screws, t-nuts, and loctite.  Drilling out your old rivets should be done by someone who has done it before just so you don't over-heat your boot or slip the drill off or some other less than bueno thing happens.
