Seat Belt Removal 68

[Mel-E]

Help!
I cant get the seat belts out of my 68. Every diagram shows removal of a nut on the bottom, but the nut looks attached to the frame - is it just painted over? any tips? Thanks.

On my '72........

Remove the pass thru shoulder belt with a hair dryer.

Unbolt seat from the floor. The "nuts" are welded in place, so unbolt from inside the car. 1/2" box wrench for the front two, and 1/2" socket for the back two.

Peel back carpet.

There is a black plastic cover over the seat belt retractor. It is removed with a nut driver, or small socket set. 4 self tapping screws like things.

You may need to rip a little hole in the padding to find the 4th one. You can feel the point of the screws from under the car.

The seat belt is held in with a 13/16th " bolt. Same as the seats, you have to remove it from inside the car.
