Funny I see this post... I want to order these as well and am wondering the same.... I am going to call Hawks Monday to make sure these come with instructions because I have no clue how they come apart either...

Got mine from Modern Day Muscle. Not only came with instructions, but also a tool to take out the old buttons! Worked pretty slick, made it really easy to get the buttons out. Still around the garage somewhere I think.

$2 cheaper when you order straight from them instead of their ebay ads

Re: red seatbelt lock *****

I'd recommend practicing removing the buttons 4-5 times on a car at a junkyard...had to replace one of my rear belts because I cracked the housing removing one.
