98 Blazer LT 4 door Passenger Side Seat Belt Installation
I have a 98 LT 4 door 4x4.
The passenger side female part of the seat belt needs to be replaced. I have purchased a new one and wonder what the installation process for this might be?. The old one does not latch when the belt is inserted in.
I would like some advice on the installation process.
Thanks

Hey! The seat does have to come out! The bolt has A T-50 torx head. This is threaded through the floor in a reinforced area. You will not be able to get this out by hand,however! When I had to do this on the male assembly on the drivers side of my 97 it required a torch and liberal blasts of PB blaster while it was still hot(working underneath-be cautious!) and an impact gun to free this bolt! This bolt is probably torqued to some outrageous figure(200 lbs +) I have heard that GM will fix seat belts for free for the life of the vehicle,but have never experienced this myself! Easy fix and necessary,so get on it!

I did have to take the seat out. Thanks for the heads up on the torx head bolt. Had that part covered. The part that I am still unsure about is that the seat belt had a wire on it. I could not find any where this would plug into. For a power seat? My seat on the passenger side is not powered. Suggestions?
