Seat Belt Systems: Service and Repair

NOTE: The lap/shoulder safety belts are factory-installed in their proper locations. If the belts are removed for any reason, they must be installed. The 7/16 x 20 Torx(r) head anchor bolts must be hand-started and then tightened to 34-46 Nm (26-33 lb ft).

1. Remove the broken or stripped bolt.

2. Drill out the internal threads in the safety belt anchor plate with a 27/64-inch drill.

3. Rethread the anchor plate with a 1/2-13 tap.

4. Blow out the chips.
