I decided it was time to replace the original belts on my stock 1978 cub, as the rear shoulder harness was terribly frayed and didn't even come within two inches of the passenger's shoulders. The installation of the front set went smoothly enough, but when I went to do the rear belts I got stuck. The bolts holding the rear belt in place is in an incredibly tight spot, and I can't even see the nut when I look down in there. I can't tell if it's even accessible without removing the side aluminum panel, and frankly, I didn't want to mess with it too much and cause more problems.
Any simple tips on this? Or are there variations in how the original belts are installed that make a simple answer impossible? Ultimately I can just hand it over to my mechanic and have him install them, but I'm trying to learn how to do simple things on my plane as I go, so if this is doable, I'd like to figure it out.
