Hello everyone,
I need to remove my driver side seatbelt to repair the hookup. I want to know if anyone knows the size torex head I need? It seems rather large...would a socket head be best to remove the seat belts from the frame attachment or some other tool? Any tricks or thoughts on dissasimbling these for repair?

T47, although not that common, is the correct size. A t50 and a hammer can make it work.
I tried to use a normal bolt to replace that stupid torx bit after, but the factory bolt is a trilobular thingie, acts as a locking mechanism. That's why they're so stupidly hard to remove. Kinda a safety thing. Anyway, i'd put that bolt back in when you're done...
True what these guys said, the reason I use a t-50 is because I got it for free It works just as well and like mentioned above I do have to tap it into the bolt (YAY FOR FREE TORX BITS)

I went to 3 different Sears hunting for the elusive singley sold T47 Torx , Each had a rack for them but None in stock ! They had a set though that contained one for like 59.00 dollars. and that sucked cause i had most of them. Then ran by Lowes. They completely suck. nothing. The third sears i searched for about a half an hour, as i was about to give up. i noticed out of place. A T47 OMG it cant be. yes !!!
My girlfriend bought me the big Lisle 12 piece Torx set that has T-10 all the way through T-60, and T-47 was included so I use that for the seatbelts. But be careful because I bent the bracket on my passenger side that bolts to the body. I had to just bend it back with vice grips and I've never been able to get the seatbelt off.
I bought a Stanley set of torx sockets which didnt include the T47 but I had one from a previous lisle set.The lisle torx sockets tended to twist the heads or snap under alot of force.Thats why I bought the stanley set.I also found a T47 socket in a Junkyard Camaro
It works just as well and like mentioned above I do have to tap it into the bolt (YAY FOR FREE TORX BITS)
