Safety Belt With Anchor Plate Thread Damage

1. Remove the broken or stripped bolt.

NOTE: The lap/shoulder safety belts are factory-installed in their correct locations. If the safety belts are removed for any reason, they must be installed. The 7/16 x 20 Torx (R) head anchor bolts must be hand-started and then tightened to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).

2. Drill out the internal threads in the safety belt anchor plate with a 27/64-inch drill.
3. Rethread the anchor plate with a 1/2-13 tap.
4. Blow out the chips.
5. Install the attachment parts in the correct sequence. For additional information, refer to Safety Belt Buckle-Front or Safety Belt Buckle-Rear. Install a new bolt, hand-tighten and then tighten the bolt to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).

NOTE: Refer to the Parts Replacement Chart when installing new parts.
