Arrow How to Remove B pillars?

I want to remove my B pillars, the ones that are in the middle and hold the seat belt in place. But I dont know how to take off the seat belt/slider thats blocking me from removing the actual pillar. Any help would be good. Thanks!

You take off the plastic part where the seatbelt rotates. Then take out the bolt holding that part in. Then just yank on the pillar and there you go.

Can the B-pillars be removed?
I thought they are welded to the roof and bodyshell. They are stress-bearing and contribute to the stiffness of the car. Without them, the car will flex and sag. Won't this be dangerous to driving?
Without the pillars and safety belts, will your car pass any safety tests?
B-pillarless cars like the Mazda RX-8 and Merc CLK, have the bodyshell and chassis strengthened to take the extra load of being pillarless. The Civic is not designed so.
