I removed the rear seat on my '04 TJ and when I pulled up the carpet to
remove the center seat belts and bracket I found what appears to be a
huge torx headed bolt holding the assembly down. I've got a few torx
screwdrivers, but this is way larger than anything I've got. I suspect
I'm going to have to get something to use with my 3/8" driver. Any idea
what size this monster is?

Hi Frank,
When scrounging used belts from the bone yards, and forgotten the tool,
vise-grips will do, and I haven't had to locked them tight enough to bur the
bolt.

Lisle has a kit with a bunch of different sized bits that fit in a socket
that comes with the kit. I got mine at Sears, I think.

Unfortunately there are two raised tabs to the left and right where the
seat belt attaches to the bracket the torx holds down. No room for vise
grips. :-( I'll swing by KMart (They sell Craftsman tools now) and look
for a set of bits for my 3/8" driver. Thanks all.
