my dog at my seatbelt too!

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
