I don't know what it's called... but it's not in my service manual. The 3 pcs of black painted steel on the floor right where the rear seats would fit. Several large bolts hold them down. Well I need to take that off to remove my seatbelts it appears.

Does anyone have the torque specs for it? Is this a Type R specific part?

 

Really?

I've never removed that piece on any of the cars that I've removed the rear seatbelts from.

 

no you don't sackdeeznutz.

 

Well how am I supposed to get the retractor bolt out if theres ****** 1/2" steel covering it?

Is this an 'ITR' piece?

 

I think it is a R specific cross brace.

16lb*ft for all the horizontal bolts and those not directly under the rear seat. These are the shorter bolts (8mm)

28 lb&ft for the ones directly underneath the seat. Th'are da lunger ones (10mm).

Well then I seem to have misplaced my R supp. somebody want to look up the torque?

 

It's not really "B-Pillar" huh?

 

Last time I looked at an arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I don't recall it being in the way. I will look friday though even though you'll have an answer by then.

 

Supplement says you need to remove it to access the lower seat belt bolt. It's not always right on the money tho. Might be one of those cases where nonconventional methods are just as effective.

 

<I TOLD YOU GUYS SO>

Does it list a torque spec for the brace bolts?

[e]thx in vtec

are you talking about removing the rear seat belt buckles?? or the rear seat belt retractor?? if it is for the rear seat belt retractor, which im thinking thast what your talkign about, you DO NOT have to remove anything except, rear trim panel, rear seat, and side trim panel HTH

 

Nope front seatbelt.

if it is for the fron then you are right here you go:

there are 2 different types of bolts with 2 different tq specs:

the first 3 on top of the bar: 28 lbft / 38 Nm

all the rest (5 total): 16 lbft / 22 Nm

HTH

art - wishes he had a scanner

 

No scanner needed muchas gracias.

 

why didn't you specify? This whole freakin time I thought you were talking about rear belts

 

 

Well seeing how theres no "huge pieces of steel" to take off near the rear belts, and the fact I said 'B pillar', I thought it was pretty clear.

Wut the hell do you know, you don't own an arrr anyway...

hehe

 

Sack - its the side impact beam. Just torque it down to 40 ft lbs.
