To replace the front seat belt buckle assembly on a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer, first, disconnect the vehicle's battery to ensure safety. Remove the trim cover around the buckle, then unbolt the buckle assembly from its mounting location using a socket wrench.

I don't see how you could install just the buckle. I suggest you go to almost any salvage yard and get a replacment belt/buckle assembly. Replace the whole thing.

Best to go get a used one & replace it
With some belts there are clips in the reverse side, which you can use to change the buckle. What do you do if the belt you want doesn't have clips? Well I cut the stitiching or remove the rivets, depending on which the belt has, then replace the buckle and refasten it with safety pins, or if you have a thinner belt you may prefer to staple it. Hope this helps.

Mercury has wrinkles, or "lobate scarps," due to its cooling and contraction over billions of years. As the planet's interior cooled, it shrank, causing the crust to buckle and form these features. The presence of these wrinkles indicates that Mercury has experienced significant geological activity, despite being a small and seemingly inactive planet today.
