Default Stereo Install

Im trying to install some speakers into my 2007 Dakota, the rear speakers are proving to be a pain. I'm using a T50 to try and remove the seat belts as directed however they won't come loose. I talked to the dealer today and they said they use loctite to put those bolts in there and that I have to come to them to have it removed. I hate to do that I'd like to do this myself if possible but not having an air gun and not wanting to strip the bolt I see little other choice. Any suggestions or people who have worked them loose in the past?

Try, REALLY hard...

It takes a lot of muscle, but I've done it...

That, or get a breaker bar, then it won't take really any muscle...

You just have to put some muscle into them. I took mine out using a large allen wrench that fit in there, I had all the pics taken to write up rear speaker change for the club cabs to go with my front speaker DIY but I forgot to back them up when I reinstalled windows

Look at that, a dealer once again offering to lighten your pockets, haha, nice. Like they all said muscles and atrusty breaker bar should do it.
