rear seat star shaped bolt

[luckythirteen13]

im trying to get my rear seat out and one of the bolts on each side (the one that holds the bottom of the seat belt in) has a star pattern on the head of the bolt. its like an allen wrench but more star like. what is that called and what size is it? i need to go buy a tool to get that bolt out

Its called a TORX bolt. You need a TORX socket, i think its a T-45 or a T-50. You can buy a whole set of TORX sockets, youll need them on other parts of the car anyway

Your local auto parts store will have the Torx driver in a 3/8" drive socket format.

Ya, i broke 1/2 a dozen trying to get mine out. finally i had to use a cutting wheel and cut the bolts in half, and break the heads off.

Mine came out very easy (had them in and out over 10 times, lol)

i'm 99% sure it's a T-45 bit you want

I had to heat mine up from the bottom the first time out.
