Removing Rear Seat Belts
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?

Re: Removing Rear Seat Belts
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.

Re: Removing Rear Seat Belts
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.

Re: Removing Rear Seat Belts
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.
