Seat belt removal

[dominator]

Hi All,

I need some info on removing & installing rear driver side seat belt. The one in there right now has been chewed on by i am guessing a dog? Anybody out there done this before?

Ive never removed a seatbelt in my kj ,but i.m pretty certain that seatbelt pre-tensioners are fitted,and they contain explosives so take care.I'm sure someone on here who works in a bodyshop will tell you the correct/safe procedure.

Seat belt

You'll need to remove the plastic panelling in the cargo area on that side first. Then seat belt is attached to the side of the vehicle and to the floor, where the seat mounts. I believe you'll just need a large diameter socket, maybe a large Torx bit.

And that's it, pretty simple installation and removal. You should be able to find the part from a junk yard for pretty cheap I would imagine. Check www.car-part.com.

I believe only the front seat belts have the pre-tensioners so that shouldnt be an issue.

No seat belt belt pyrotechnic tensioners in the early KJ's,'02 at least since none were in my KJ when I ripped it all apart.You will need torx bit sockets,T45,T50,or T55(can't remeber which one).

Having a problem with the torx bolt on the driver seat belt anchor. Seems like it was put in with loctite? I loosened it about a turn, then it locked up. Anyone have any suggestions? seems like if I force it the bolt will break.
