These videos never do it justice, and it sounds a bit ricey thanks to my camera's crappy microphone, but anyways...here it is.

How do I get the bolts out that hold the back seatbelts in? The ones below rear seats, they're literally stuck. We've sprayed them for days and they're weak on top and started to strip. Any ideas?

If you have access to a welder, try welding a big nut on it. Make sure you have good penetration. Otherwise, get ready to drill them out. That's what I had to do, and it sucked. I broke 3 Torx T50 sockets and 2 drill bits trying to get those a@@holes out, and destroyed a cut-off wheel for my angle grinder.

Good luck! lol

Is the AC compressor bracket that holds the alternator and fan pulley a mopar item only? I seem to can't find a store that sells them.

Are you talking about the square one? I wouldn't bank on that at all. That nut is important for the structure/strength of the seatbelt bolt. I drilled mine out to accept a 1/2" bolt. Haven't put them in yet, though.

You'd probably still break the bit. One thing you could try is cutting off all exposed threads underneath. I think that was part of my issue.

No, but it's for a Grand Cherokee.
