Cherokee shoulder seat belt replacement
My warrior is fitted with shoulder strap seat belts anchored to the upper side of the plane, just above the second window. From the looks of them they were original equipment. Now - I need to remove the retracting mechanism so I can have new belts attached. After removal of the plastic cover plate I see the spool, bolted to a bracket which is attached to the fuselage with three phillips head screws. The bolt just rotates so I assume it has an unsecured head that I can't get to so the three screws are the only way to remove the retracting mechanism. The only problem is that the screws are so close to the spool that I can't get a proper bite with a screwdriver. A closefit screwdriver will simply "cam out", I can't get any lateral pressure on it. I might be able to grab the screw head with a pair of vise grips but hoped that someone on this group would have a smarter way. If you did - where did you take the equipment for fixin? Leo |
