3.
Pull the trim panel away from the "C" pillar enough to locate the threaded shoulder belt anchor point behind the trim panel as shown below.
NOTE:
The anchor point for the shoulder belt is a fine thread SAE 7/16" nut welded to the underside of the "C" pillar sheet metal.
Threads in the anchor point may have paint on them. Clean the threads if necessary before installing the special tool to avoid cross-threading the
anchor point nut.
4.
Install the threaded special tool fully into the anchor point behind the trim panel.
5.
Press the "C" pillar trim panel back firmly into place against the tip of the special tool. This will create a raised dimple on the outer surface of the
panel, to use as a center point for drilling a hole in the panel.
6.
Remove the special tool, then place the wood block between the "C" pillar trim panel and the "C" pillar, centered on the raised dimple as shown
above.
CAUTION: Failure to use the wood block could cause the hole saw pilot drill bit to damage the anchor nut threads or the sheet metal.
