Seat belt Help!

Sorry i didn't know exactly where to put this thread but anyways i am trying to remove the upper seat belt bolt that is located on the drivers side behind the head rest but i can't get anything that will break it loose! Is there a trick to it or is it just really in there good?

I had the same problem with the ones in the back. I still haven't gotten it out. Im going to take it to my friends to use an air power ratchet.

They are loctited in, takes a large breaker bar and the right driver to get them to move. Once you break them loose they should spin out pretty easy. Impact gun may work as well, don't think an air rachet is going to have enough ***** to do the job.

My advise... Use a star 55 or 50 I dont remember which one.. The larger the brealer bar the better..

I also agree that the air ratched will not be good enough for the job.. Impact gun X2

I have tried it all! I don't remember which size star i used but it was a perfect fit, but it ended up stripping the bolt so now i think i am just going to try and use a vice grip or whatever it takes to get it out since it is pretty stripped. Do anyone know where i can get a new bolt?

They are a real PITA but I did it with out a breaker bar and I'm not a very big guy only weigh 150. You just need to grab a pair of gloves and man the F--K up. LOL no I really suggest a breaker bar but it can be done with out it.

K cool, cause i finally got the guy to pull the dings out of my car, there were only two, but the last ding is right after the passenger side door so he said that he would just remove that panel in the back seat an get to it from there. That or he just drills a hole lol
