Remove the Seatbelt holder to access the back panel

[Farmer3520]

I was wonderin if anyone could tell me whene i cound get a wrench/driver to remove that little bolf that is unter the seatbelt holder on the backest most panel on the right side of a 1992 explorer. This would be a first for me messin around back there, but i've put in almost everything else. The size, and maybe where i could get one? Thankyou.

not 100% sure, but i think it is a torx bit size t-45 ... they are available at home improvement stores like home depot, orchard supply, lowes, sears, etc or also at local auto parts stores......

You were able to un-torque that bolt with a twist of a screwdriver??

Your more man than I am!

Does anyone know for sure?

Torx bit: size T-50

 

[Farmer3520]

Thank You.

It is for sure the T-50, as dejello said, but my advice is to get a good quality one....sometimes they are cranked in there good.

Does it matter what lengts driver i use? Should i use a driver with a long handle?

 

[Crankcase]

Get it as a socket, not a driver....They are sold as 3/4" drive sockets....

 

[Farmer3520]

I know, i went and got the socket tonight, i was just wonderin how much torque i'm gonna need to get that bolt off. If i need alot, i'll go back and get a driver with a longer arm.

 

[dejello]

It depends on how long it's been in there, how tight is was put on, and how strong the person is applying the force.. But yeah, make sure it's a good quality one (my dad tore up the first one I got at a junk yard the next day )

I got a bit from autozone. The screw comes out pretty easy.

 

[Farmer3520]

I got the screw out successfully. it wasnt that hard to take out. Do you know what size bit i need to take off the screws that are mounting the amp? I want to take out that amp and bypass it for now, until i get another one.

 

[hamexplorer]

You can just unplug the amp from both sides and bypass it without unbolting.

i want to take out thise amps and put different ones in there.
