    Front Seat Belt Torx Bolt

    I'm having a hell of a time removing the passenger seat belt torx bolt. I have the T50 bit and had no problems at all with the drivers side. I've put the bit in my drill and tried on full blast and thing won't turn. I then get that wonderful burning smell coming from inside the drill because it's on full power and nothing is moving.

    Any suggestions for getting this bolt out or should I just drill it and get a new one? I was wanting to sound deaden the VX this weekend.

    Thanks in advance

    a socket style torx and a good ratchet style breaker bar.

    Not tried it myself but some seatbelt bolts undo by turning them the other way, clockwise

    Use an impact driver with the bit in an impact socket - manual drivers are less than $20 these days.

    Using a breaker bar ended up working. I ended up pushing on it with my weight while my wife hung from the bar. Took about 7-8 1/8th turns before it was loose enough to use the drill w/the bit.

    Thanks for the advice.
