T-50
I bought a set of Sears Craftsman for my seat belt reciever search.
Less than $20 bucks.
I figured lifetime guarantee (at the time) and figured if I snapped
one I would get a free replacement.

I don't normally buy tools at Autozone but their 3/8 socket Torx bits work really well. Far less slipping/stripping than what I experience with Craftsman.

When you're working with torx (especially those seatbelt ones) bolts be sure the inside of the torx head is clean, put the socket on and give it a tap or two with a hammer.

And the torque spec is 31 lb-ft, not nearly as tight as you might think. I remember putting a lot of muscle into it when I was young and stupid. Now I actually pay attention to torque specs.
