Thread: Front Seat Belt Torx Bolt

    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.

    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.

    Cool, glad it worked...and glad the wife helped, I let my wife help with the fencing today and somehow she hit herself in the forehead with the post hole digger.
