remove back seat safety belt attached to roof

would anyone know the trick to removing the driver side, back seat safety belt from the roof attachment point?
i've removed the head liver, surrounding plastic trim parts except the trim that surrounds the attachment point.
I'm totally lost on understanding how to remove this part.
There's no more plastic that can be popped off and there is a nut that attaches to the roof metal which is only accessible through that tiny 1/2" wide slot in the grey plastic part at the top of the assembly.
This slotted part does not swivel/rotate so it's impossible to get a wrench in there to unscrew the nut.
Thanks or any help. Perhaps a shop manual might explain the method?

solved - doh, there is a miniscule seam between the front and back black plastic part covering the safety belt hard attachment to the roof.
I not-so-carefully separated these 2 parts (breaking one) and this revealed the bolt holding the belt assembly to the roof.
Simple, in hindsight. But i do hate plastic parts that fit together too well and then break when you separate them!
