: taking a seat belt buckle apart? D.WALKER Jan 29th, 01, 06:00 AM I'd like to take my buckles apart in a 68 camaro to get them free'd up and working better, any helpful hints on how I should take them apart. They sell replacement buckle covers so they must come apart somehow? Dwx4@juno.com KevinW Jan 29th, 01, 07:27 AM There are little tips on either side of the cover that go into slots on the metal backing. They are 1/4 in from front of buckle on the sides. Just take a thin screwdriver and gently (very gently, don't twist too much or the plasitc will break) pry one side up while trying to pull the cover up from the front. Don't try to lift up only one side. Do one side a little, then go to the other side and keep wiggling it up until it comes off. It comes off the front first and has a little hook in the back (like a hinge). But once the front is free it will come right off. Kevin ------------------ 69' SS-350 ragtop, M20, 3.55 posi.

If you have a fax number, I'll send it to you.

However, there was a posting a while back on taking the buckle covers apart. A search should find it. Let me know if you still need the magazine article faxed.
