rear seatbelt anchor
Hi everyone have taken out my rear seat prior to changing the rear middle seatbelt on my estate .I have to remove the seatbelt anchor but when I turned it anticlockwise it went tight again so i applied more pressure then there was a loud crack and the bolt just spins round but will not come out anyone any ideas how to get the bugger out ?Thanks in advance .....Rob

Re: rear seatbelt anchor
Oooh, sounds like a cage nut that's not actually in a cage any more 
Someone had something recently but I can't find it with a search. You need to get to the other side of it, you might have to drop the tank depending where it is, or even open up a box section to weld a new nut in there.

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Re: rear seatbelt anchor
Thanks Steve the cage nut had departed from where it was fixed,had to grind the bolt off from inside but I dont advise this method as I went through 7 wires in the wiring loom FFS.Anyway my Son managed to hold the nut from underneath the car 
while I tightened it from the inside of the car .Everything is working now apart from the fuel guage which is showing full 
. The Knowledge Base article by waue1978 was invaluable as it stopped me attacking the rear of the seat and doing more damage than I already had done
