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
