So my passenger side seat belt won't retract, I fixed it once but Pam pulled it too far out and it won't retract again Confused  I could send it out to Ssnake-oyl for repair (about $50) plus shipping both ways.

Or I could buy this one off eBay.  The guy says its Smoke Gray, looks Silver too me.  Anyone have a smoke gray interior?  How close is it to Silver?

Also what kinda tool do I need to remove the seat belt?  The bolt holding it in place looks to me like a Torx on steroids LOL  Thanks.

I believe the smoke gray is darker than silver.  Don't quote me on that.
 
Yes, it is a big torx head.  Probably a T40 or T45.  I have seen a T47.   I'm not sure which one you have.  The type with a 3/8 drive will needed to get enough force to loosen the bolt.

The bolt is a torx T-500...an unusual size.

So where can I find a T500?  I've looked around can't seem to locate one.

Let me go look if I can find mine out in the G-rage. I just cleaned it up a little and I aint sorted my tools yet so odds are I won't be able to find squat. Might not be the right one but if it is you can borrow it if ya want.

Sears. Craftsman Torx T50. I think T500 was a typo.
