Seat belt clicker?

[tom26]

Does anyone know how to take the thing that you're seat belt clicks into out of an old vauxhall corsa, mines broke and I need to replace it? Had a look at it and I can see 1 bolt but it looks like it might affect more than just the clicker if i take that bolt out.

Seatbelt fittings usually only have the seatbelt putting tension on them, you might have some plastic trim around it, but it's usually only the seatbelt bits that are being retained.

What do you mean; the buckle or the Inertial Reel?

Don't forget it might (and i think it does, Astras of the same age do) have a seatbelt pretensioner, complete with explosive charge .

Get down the scrapyard mate and get a complete seat out to make it easier, i think then that the retainer should be held with a bolt one end and hooked into the seat subframe the other but don't quote me on that!.

Cheers for the replies, one garage quoted me 120quid to fix it but then the garage where I bought it from decided they'd do it for free, it just means I have to drive it 4 hours to get it there lol.
