my dog at my seatbelt too!

[glycine]

Actually it was my husbands dog, my dog is well trained an does not do
such things. He ate the rear passenger belt on my 2001 Subaru
Outback. I live in the middle of nowhere and it is a 2 hour drive to
a subaru dealer. I have no idea if any of the local places are even
competant. Competancy is not part of the culture in this part of the
US.
So, how do I replace the belt myself? I trust me more than them.

thanks,
glycine

I suspect it's impossible with hardware
store tools. I've tried to loosen the
fasteners and I've never been able to.

BTW, my dog's brother, a purebred Border
Terrier, did $1800 worth of damage in about
5 minutes. Wrecked seatbelts and chewed
up armrests. He saw a feral cat and went
nuts trying to get to it.

You both have my sympathy! Some years ago we went for a quick shoopping
trip and our obviously bored Border Collie had fun with the seats in a
Saab 99. Complete reface front and back....

Centre belt or one of the sides? Looks like a 14mm socket with an
extension and a big enough bar should shift all the bottom bolts. Don't
know what's up in the roof if it's a middle 3 point belt that got eaten
though. Make sure any washers and stuff go back the right way round and in
the right order though. Maybe leave a favourite dog chew or toy in the
back? Cheers
