Default Rear seatbelt Torx bolt size

Not sure where else to put it, so I thought I'd post in here.

Does anyone know the size of the Torx bit required to remove the bolt in the bottom of the seat belt, for the rear seats? Something like a T45?

It's pretty up there. I didn't have one handy, so I managed to find a regular hex that would fit. It wasn't hella tight or anything, so it came right out without damaging it or anything. That was a nifty little trick I learned from an old boss, hex's work in torx... who would have known.

Damn, didn't even think of that. I use hex keys for small torx bolts all the time, but didn't even think of it for a big-*** bolt like that one.

Gonna go out and try to find one that'll fit.

A 1/4" hex wrench will get the bottom bolt out.

Wound up leaving mine in...the whole seatbelt assembly is maybe 3lbs each side, so it's a negligible amount. I thought I read somewhere the entire assembly per side was like 18-20lbs, but it's nothing near that.

I use a T45 in mine and have a little slop in it, so 50 sounds right!
