your need a torx bit on a socket wrench to remove one bolt on the floorboard bewteen the seat and the door. then just slide the belt through the new guide and bolt it back up.

When I look at the bottem of the seat belt, I saw some kind of cap with the cross mark, how do I take off that cap ? thanks

Update : I just did a search and found this, Every thing I need to know how to remove and install, seat belt and guide. For future NOOB, here is the link.

To get the cap off, (over the torx bolt) pry one side up with a screw driver and then turn the cap with a Quarter inserted in one of the slots. If you look at the pictures in the write up, you'll see there is a break in the flange that holds the cap down. When it hits the area you are prying, it should twist out.

You'll also want to pay special attention to the part about applying thread locker and getting the proper torque on the torx bolt.

you need a T47, a T50 and a hammer will work as well, but not reccomended.

U are correct !! I just coming back here just to update the thread, about using T-47 LOL but u beat me to it, T45 is too small, and t50 is just kinda big, T-47 is just right but little loose, I ask the guy over the counter if he have T-48 or T-49 LOL LOL LOL. He say their so such thing is t48 t49 lol.
