I think it's a t50 or t55 just like the seat belt bolts that hold them to the floor. I took mine out with a channel lock, because so much of it's exposed, it shouldn't take much.

The proper size is T-47 but you can usually get a T-50 to work. The problem is that most sets do not come with a T-47 so you have to buy it separate. Prob only 5 or 6 bucks at your local auto/hardware store.
