What is the Torx head size for the bolt that holds the front seat belt latch in?

T50 is the size you need for all the sealtbelt bolts, except the ones for the rear shoulder harness retractors. Those take a standard hex wrench or socket.

Agree on the T50.

Damn, I would swear those front bolts are larger than the rears. I used a T50 on the rears and it fit fine. The front bolt felt a little bigger and I ended up twisting the end of the torx head trying to get the son of a bitch out. Thanks!

You really need to use a quality bit to keep from twisting off thebits or stripping the bolts. I learned the hard way myself. Go to Sears and buy the $7 T50 socket and they will all come out easily every time. It's not worth using the cheap ones.

The seat belt bolts can be quite difficult to remove sometimes for some reason. All of mine came out easily, except for the passenger's shoulder harness. It took a lot of work to get it removed.

That combined with a cheap torx bit could be your problem. Cheap ones don't fit well (leading to stripped bolts), and they twist and break easily.
