Yes.... on the torque question....
Its a M10 bolt used at all three locations: set at 36 Nm (27 ft-lb)
the seat belt anchor to body
the seat belt reel to B-pillar
the seat belt to B-pillar
With a note to use Locktite with new bolts.
It doesn't give the torx bit size to use though.
Cool, thanks guys! I have a T50; that's the same as the bolt on the R53. I thought the torque was going to be a bit higher, but that's cool. I can do 27 ft-lbs by hand.
Thanks for the equation and the torque spec. I decided to just do it by feel because I packed the big torque wrench that starts at 25 ft-lbs, it wasn't too bad. :fingerscrossed:
The hardest part is keeping the buckles from rotating too much when you tighten the bolt. New harnesses come with a new bolt and washer that eliminates this issue, but these were used equipment so I reused the stock bolts. Cutting the plastic off was easy, definitely required a Dremel, and had zero structural impact on the integrity of the buckle.
