Bake82 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hey guys, I'm completely stripping a 92 CS of it's interior on Tuesday. I am wondering what special tools I might need. I will be taking all seats, panels, dash, doors, seatbelts, carpet, console. Everything in the interior. Anyways I don't want to get down there(5 hour drive) and then not have the proper tools to take off everything I need. any and all tips are appreciated. Thanks Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToroToro Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Seats are 8mm. You'll also need a 12mm for the console IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bake82 Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Cool, thanks guys. I have a 300pc ratchet set that I'm gonna bring. Was just curious what else I might need. What do I need to get the seatbelts out of the doors??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 The door panel comes off in two different pieces. The lower part around the seatbelt unscrews and unclips. Then you pry the little trim thing off the top of the door around the seatbelt, and unscrew the panel up there. Then you can take off the door panel and the seatbelt slides out around it. The whole seatbelt assy. just unbolts from the door after that. The seat belt never actually goes "into" the door, just behind the door panel. It's tough to explain but I'm sure once you get out there you can figure it out easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my door panels off before, so I know how they come off...kind of weird the first time, that is for sure. It was the seat belt assembly that I was worried about, but it sounds like it's easy enough. Thanks man!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntzie Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 ya seatbelts are 15mm, 5 nuts in total per belt, the ones in the rear are a 45 or t -50 though ( my 89 had -t50and the blue gtp i got had t-45 torx)..... the whole interior to strip down only took me about 3 hours, but ive done it 4 times now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
