[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 7903328, member: 603800"] I broke one of the bolts that holds the driver's seat in my ZJ. There is a nut welded to the bottom of the vehicle that the bolt goes through. To fix this, I completely drilled out the broken bolt, borrowed a nice tap set, and tapped the hole. I was careful to drill out the size of the bolt so I could still use a stock bolt to hold the seat. As far as that stripped Torx bolt for the seatbelt, you may end up having to cut off the head and drill it out. That's going to be a PITA. I've stripped out small Torx screws and bolts before, but never something large like that. You could also try grabbing the head with vice grips. I doubt that'd work, but it's worth a shot. [/QUOTE]
