Car Forum / Jeep / February 2007Removing 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?  SignatureFRH 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.

SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com 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.

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.

I Herculined my 04 TJ did the interior with 3 coats including the door sills. It still looks great and has held up to the mud and water. It took a one gallon kit to do the job just make sure you follow directions. A friend did his TJ but did not take his time to use the proper cleaner (xylene) along with proper scuffing and it pealed in areas. If you do it in the summer it only takes about 2 hours between coats. Stripped out the interior on a Friday and by Sunday afternoon put everything back. I also bought an extra quart and did the fender wells. Coasty > Speaking of Rhinolining, I'm thinking of Herculining the YJs. Anybody > have any experience with it?

Hey Coasty, If you're driving by Blue Wind on your way home sometime this week, would you mind stopping by and showing me the Herculiner? Just look for a red Jeep...and an otherwise empty parking lot - if there are too many customers, I won't be able to look at it. You can get a sandwich while you're there, too - they're quite good. I'll be wearing my Titleist hat. Thanks! > I Herculined my 04 TJ did the interior with 3 coats including the door > sills. It still looks great and has held up to the mud and water.
