164 Seat Belt Clasp

[Howard and Pat Warren <warrenwood@domain.elided>]

Well, I've added an Alfa Romeo 164L to replace my recently sold Milano. 
 This car has a somewhat interesting history, but to make things short it 
was stolen and a couple of pieces damaged.  Here's the main problem: the 
button on the driver's seat belt clasp (piece bolted to the floor) is 
jammed in the "depressed" position.  When I insert the belt buckle, the 
clasp doesn't "click" (since the button is jammed) and the belt slides back 
out.

I've found a replacement clasp at APE, but I would like to ask how to 
install it.  Is it necessary to remove the driver's seat?  Or is there a 
magic trick involving flex sockets, gooseneck adapters, the phase of the 
moon and telekinesis?

Thanks!
