Busted seat belt bolts!
« on: April 13, 2014, 02:21:16 pm »
So I'm now working on the interior of my truck an the previous owner removed everything including seat belts but as they did it they busted 2 of the bolts in the floor (drivers side belt, and pass side buckle).... I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to get them out without having to get the drill n tap/die set out??... I've already tried putting visegrips on the bottom an tried to spin them out that way with no luck... Is there another spot that I could mount the belts without having issues?

Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks

     If they broke off from the top, most likely they would not come out the bottom (as you learned) without messing up the threads.  Why would you not want to get them out and use the same holes ?  It should not be that hard.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
