Loosening that bolt!

I'm trying to paint my B pillars. I got the driver side B pillar off, but the bolt holding the seat belt harness on the passenger side is so freaking tight It wouldn't budge a bit! My perseverance nearly rounded off the edges of the bolt with a wrench.. Is there any way to freaking get that sucker out? I used pliers, a wrench and a socket wrench and hammering it with madness.. seems impossible to unbolt! Help, please? TIA..

make sure you using the right socket with 6 edges, and not 12, it will cause it to strip....and like the above person said, use a breaker bar(handle off of jack) and bam, not that sucker loose.

6 pt socket with an impact wrench. If you already started to round it, any more use of hand tools will make it worse.

yea use a 6 sided socket with an impact or even a breaker bar, just make sure to keep the socket flush up against the nut or you'll torque it at an angle and it'll just shear as the socket comes off the nut.

If that made sense to anyone... wow.. i'm even confused.. haha
