I am getting ready to R/R the seat belts in my 78 and would like to know if a special tool is needed to remove the attaching bolts?

thanks,

Regular hand tools and some elbow grease will do the job. Be advised the bolts can be stubborn, so you may want a dose of your favorite penetrating oil.

The AIM is helpful but is not a How-To.
