had to replace mine. And had to take 3 or 4 pieces of trim out to get it. Start by taking the piece off that runs over the backseat and be careful not to break any of the tabs as you take it out. Unbolt all the seat belt parts you can get to, the shoulder connection and the floor bolt I think. Then I had to take the trim part on teh pass upper side off, the one around the window. Next I pulled up part of the door sill so I could get too the last part of trim that had to come out, the lower passenger side. Then I could get to the part of the seatbelt that had the spool on it to unbolt it. I also had to buy some more of the little christmas tree type clips cause some of mine got tore up when I pulled em out. Hillman make them and you can find em at Lowes. Then I bought a used seatbelt from a guy on a local board for $20. For some reason it wouldnt work until it was bolted to the car body but once I got it on it worked fine. Then I put everything back on.
