Replace Seat Belt Retractors

[res0zvle]

Can anyone explain how to remove & replace the seat belt retractor mechanism in a 2000 Z3 2.5? I need to replace both the passenger & driver's side retractors. Thanks.

I'll bring in the bently mamual tommorrow and scan a few pages for you. Replaced the pass side already, it is/was easy since i left off the rear trim pieces when hard dog roll bar was installed.

Could I get these instructions as well? My passenger side retractor has locked, and I cannot get it to release.

I've taken all the plastic trim apart, and I believe I could unbolt the retractors.... but honestly, I'm a little gun shy because of the explosive charge.

Me too please. Email sent

Oh yeah... sent email as well.

My guess is that, if one disconnected the battery, one could remove these safely. Can anyone confirm??????

I've already done the hard work of exposing it.

pdf emailed- it's brief but straight forward.

Tensioner is down by seat buckle, not near retractor.

Got it.... thanks. Now I see diff between reel assbly and tensioner. I have the reel assbly out and it's spooged.

I took off the cover.... little plastic gears appear a bit worn. I doubt it salvageable.

Thanks for your help.

Would someone mind re-sending the PDF. My computer crashed & I lost the document. Thanks.

It's on it's way. The hard part is removing all the plastic trim parts so you can get to the seat belt retractor.

Is this PDF info directly from the Bentley manual? I have the Bentley, but if it's a different set of instructions, I'd like it too please.
