removing center counsel/seat belt question

[Ryan_V]

I need to put a new female end of the seat belt in my '96 ranger. It has bucket seats with a center counsel. must have had a large guy in it before because it is the super long female end on it now. I'm going to get a different end at the junk yard... I have a couple ?'s...

1. How do I remove the center conusel?? I found 2 screws under the front cup holders, but how do I get into the back of it?? I can't figure out how to get under the storage??

2. what kind/size wrench is it?? Just from trying to look with a flashlight, it looks like a star bit???

3. is there anything besides unbolting one and bolting the other one on it??

thanks in advance, I know someone here will be able to help!!

you got it, it takes usually a 45 or 50 torx bit. the console should have two bolts under the little box at the rear bottom that have to be removed. good luck, not difficult to do.

There usually torqued around 30 lb-ft as well. IMO its pretty important to have those torqued properly!!!!!!
