Geonovast Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 i was just kidding :chillin: :thwak: I would cry if that actually happened to yours. It's just too beautiful...
JeepcoMJ Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 ...and I'd kill you wade if you let that happen.

ComancheKid45 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Finally got my seatbelt replaced...what a pain that bottom torqx bolt is! :fs1:
Giffer Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 i pulled the crapet out, what a pain in the a$s that was. to get the carpet out i had to pull the seat, that was expected. but the nuts were so rusted and corroded some of them had to be cut off. but the really bummer was that i had to remove the seat belts. i was a little choked on the part. and when i finally got everything out and looked at the floor i had a few choice words and called her a day. i'll post picks when i do my build up page.
SuperWade2 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Finally got my seatbelt replaced...what a pain that bottom torqx bolt is! :fs1: My driver side bolt was stuck pretty good back going back in...I was afraid of busting the bolt...it's only about 1/2 way in now...

Wait... you put the Torx bold back in??? WHY? :eek: Run down to the hardware store and get a new hex bolt! After the ordeal getting those stupid things out I will never, ever put one back in.
HOrnbrod Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Wait... you put the Torx bold back in??? WHY? :eek: Run down to the hardware store and get a new hex bolt! After the ordeal getting those stupid things out I will never, ever put one back in. That's 'cause you live in WI (or points north). In vehicles that have lived south of the MD line their entire lives, most all bolts, Torx included, come out pretty easily, although a little persuasion is sometimes nesessary. If it comes out in good shape, I always reuse them, w. a generous dose on anti-seize applied. :cheers:

The Torx Head wasn't the problem....It was the threads...I hope I wasn't crossthreading and hosing up the hole...
