Safety Belt Without Anchor Plate Thread Damage

The seat and shoulder safety belts are factory-installed in their proper locations. If the belts are removed for any reason, they should be installed using proper service procedures. The 7/16-inch x 20 TORX(R) head anchor bolts must be hand-started and then tightened to 34-46 Nm (25-33 lb-ft).

1. Remove damaged bolt from anchor reinforcement and discard.
2. Install a new bolt by hand. Tighten to 34-46 Nm (25-33 lb-ft).
