V70 Body/Trim: - what size of Torx for the front seat belt anchor point?

moorgate · Jul 4th, 2015, 21:07

Yes, I searched before I posted. It looks to be a 50 or a 55 because my largest (a measly 40) just engages with the ridges - but not enough to be good to undo. My bad I know but almost all my tools are for bikes! So I have to order something in to crack those seatbelt anchors... and I don't want to buy a whole box of massive Torx bits just to use one of them...

It won't be larger than T60.

for future searchers benefit: it's a T50.

You shouldn't be cracking the anchors. There's a quick release button. Use a flat blade screwdriver.

Thanks, was about to order a TX50

Careful when tightening back that bolt. It is very short so it has very few threads on it. If tightened too hard it will start stripping the threads, obviously not ideal during a car crash scenario with a person wearing the belt

You don't need to take it out, push the pin in and it releases.
