>Step Three: Unbolt and Remove Seatbelt Mechanism
Slide the Orange switch outward to Unlock the wire harness. Then, gently pull off the harness



Next, Unbolt the Mechanism


After removal of the bolt the Mechanism is still held on my a 3/4 inch "rod"
To remove, pull away and outward from the roll bar. There is JUST enough room to do this.



Thats It!!!

These are the parts left over required to install new seat belts





Overall this was a really, really, easy job. I hope I have motivated some of you to replace your seat belts with some new fancy ones. Good Luck

Dude, nice write up! Very thorough and easy to understand. Good point on disconnecting the battery, i bet most people wouldn't think to do that for changing out the seatbelts.

peace

Excellent writeup! I've been contemplating blue seatbelts for a while now. I wish I had known it was that easy, I would have probably already done it.

I've got this to do this weekend so thanks for the heads up.

What size bolts are they that I need to remove? I've only got a limited set of spanners etc and don't want to find myself taking the car apart only to find I don't have the right spanner and can't drive the car to the DIY shop to buy a new spanner as its in pieces

Cheers

Sorry I don't remember, The three large bolts are all the same, just pop off the cap that covers the lower harness bolt and see if you got one that fits. Also, you can see the small bolt with taking anything apart. You can check that too. Let me know what the sizes are and I will edit my original post and put it in. Thanks
