Front Seat Belt, Remove and Install (Model F 68)
Remove upper inner panelling of B-pillar. There is a TX25 screw underneath the plastic cover.
Detach guide fitting from seat belt height adjuster (blue square).
Pull carefully to release the plastic clips (yellow circles).
Remove inner panelling lower B-pillar.
Pull carefully to release the plastic clips (yellow circles).
Two plastic pins are holding the floor panelling and the lower B-pillar panelling together. (Red circles on the photo above and the red circles on the photo below.) Move the pins to the side in order to release the hooks.
Detach reel retractor from B-pillar. A 13 mm. nut is reached through a hole from the outside of the vehicle. A plastic cover has to be removed in order to see it. You can see a photo of the reel retractor with the bolt, below. A special tool is required. (GM tool KM-6008-A or like the one I got)
Unscrew bolt from seat belt height adjuster (TX 50).
I sprayed some silicone on to the seat belt height adjuster guide. In my case it fixed the slow retracting seatbelt. It could be wise to use a 600 grit sandpaper first, in case there are some "marks" in the plastic guide.
Detach cover from front seat panelling
Pull the seat panelling in order to release the panel (yellow circles above and under) and unhook the panel (red circles above and under). Unscrew bolt to detach seat belt from front seat frame (TX40).
Inside the reel retractor. (Red circle) to release the belt before extracting. The other side of the reel retractor contains a spring coil. Be careful not to open it.
I left the seatbelt overnight in a bath of soap and water before I brushed it with a soft brush. It was well worth it. :) I think the previous owner was a coal miner which never washed his hands :)
