Default Removing Upper Seatbelt Bolt to Take the Underneath Panel Off?

Hey guys, I recently bought a full interior to swap into my car. Everything was going smoothly till I got to the pillar to which the seatbelt attaches a little above the shoulder line. I cant seem to remove the bolt which attacheds the seatbelt to the panel. Ive tried my best to get it off; maybe its some kind of special bolt?

Anyone know what I can do to get it off?

Thanks in advance,

Leon

Haha well thanks for the quick reply but believe me thats the first thing I tried. I gave it my all, it started rounding off a bit so I stopped.. Thats why I was wondering if there was anything special about it I should know

As Terra said it shouldn't be anything special... In case you do end up rounding it off this is a set of sockets I bought to keep around...May help in the future too.. (note: this will DESTROY your bolt, so use it only if you have to...)

I've removed that bolt on mine a couple times without issue. It isn't any sort of special bolt. Try some PB Blaster on it. If that doesn't help, you could try an impact gun.

Quality socket or box end wrench is a must, Nissan bolts are made of silly puddy.

Make sure your socket is the right size. And be aware of the hardware when the bolt comes off. I think there was a spacer and washer that might fall into the seat belt machinism hole.
