Well it's time to change out the seatbelt on the driverside of my '97 F150. If anyone has done this before, please share your instructions and if any special tools are needed. The belt barly retracts back all the way and squeaks.

 

you have to pop the cover off of it (pull out and up), and there is a large torx screw on the shoulder mount point.

You will need to take the trim off. and the bottom is bolted down with two large nuts i believe

 

I think the one I did was torx all the way around. If you order the new one it should come with all new hardware since it is attached to the belt.

 

Thanks for the replies....Are there any tricks to removing the trim? I do have Torx drives already.

 

on this subject, my passenger side has locked up and i need to replace it. does anyone know where to buy replacement belts? i have been looking for some time now. thanks in advance
