How do i go about taking the front seat belts out of a first gen. blazer? The ratcheting mechinism in the box by the door won't release the belt. I can't even figure out how to take the plastic interier peice off with out breaking it. I need help asap! lol

 

I had the same problem with my 1987. There is a access door in the back of the plastic piece that you are talking about. Open it and remove the large screw holding the whole thing.The screw has what i call a star shape head,it is not slotted or phillips. That is the way I got mine out.By the way that screw is in ther tight,I hade to use a breaker bar to get it to move.I will give you the size it is later when I get out if someone doesnt come on with a better way which ther may be.

 

I believe it's a #27 Torx bit from when I took mine out a few years ago but don't hold me to the exact size. Anyway Torx it is and yes they are TIGHT!!! Breaker bar and push in real hard.

 

I checked the bolts that I took out of my blazer today and it was a torque bolt t-50. It has been a while like I say but anyway the fix will probaly be nothing compared to getting that bolt out. When things on my ride get hard I just remind myself that the old gal is worth all the trouble.Mine is a 1987 by the way.

 

Its a TORX T50 that holds it on as the previous poster said, and they are tighter than a nuns c--t so careful you dont strip it.
