How tight should those T-50 bolts be torqued down to ?

Thank you! My TJ has a twist in the seat belt, and without knowing what I was doing, I tried to open it up and exploded the spring. I thought it was a gonner, but watching you replace it gave me the confidence I need to get everything put back together. Maybe I'll put a TV show on and get winding.

I haven’t laughed that hard all day- when you let it go and with ‘magic’ editing it was still together. Well done.

Great video ..and thank you for taking the time to show how to do it and also how to fix if you make a mistake especially with the tension spring . Well done ..thank you 👍☘️

Thanks for showing how to put the spring back in if the cover was taken off accidently you've just gained a like and a sub 👍🏽

Sometimes you need to just pause a video, and go down there and click the "like" button. For me this was around the 4:24 mark. . Thanks for taking one for the team!

Watched a few other videos. Like this one. Things to try. See if belt retracts when pulling out from the coil mechanism. If it works, then wash the belt and d ring that belt travels through. Next step, I like the baby powder idea on the belt. Then remove screws from the do not remove cover, and tighten the spring, turning counter clockwise while NOT removing the cover. If it doesn't pull out, the problem is on the other side cover, opposite of the do not remove cover. The lever inside may be stuck, or the belt was pulled out too far, and is stuck. Push back with screw driver. Good luck.

I’m glad you got a shock from that spring releasing. Also glad you didn’t lose an eye 👁️.

BRO THANK YOU!!! helped me and my uncle fix a company van when we opened the spring and everything flew out

Thanks for your video, fixed stuck seatbelt that would not retract. Do more.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to post this video. I rewound the spring into the COVER, added tension, and it worked perfect the first time! Great style, great communication, great editing!!!!!

THANKS A LOT GREAT JOB U R A VERY PATIENT PERSON YAH THAT LITTLE THING ON THE PLASTIC COVER IS A GUIDE

Your video saved me-I was able to follow your instructive video and rewind my seat belt retractor in my 1980 Triumph TR7 ! Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Oh man you just saved my life. The spring of my citroen Xsara jumped to my face and i didn't know how to put it again

Man, you went above and beyond in your commitment to educate the public on how to un-twang a spring🫡

This is a well made video, you have a calm ease to your approach of explanation, good work sir !

You, Sir, are a saint!!! TYVM for the ‘if the cover pops off and your spring goes flying’ tutorial.

Just did this on my 08 Diesel JKU, thanks for the info! Did not have to remove the unit from the JK. Just pull the cover and wound it 3 turns. 15 minute job.

You have so much patience it’s amazing. Very impressed with the video. Thank you for the help!

Fan-freaking-tastic!!! Thank you for saving my sanity, and according to my 86 year old Pop, his life. 👍 ✌️ ~ Keep On Trucking

SOOOO funny!!🤣 I wonder if you sprung the spring on purpose to help us mere tw1ts who let go the cover!!?? Excellent video & thsnks for your patience. Wonder how many HOURS you spent to make this minutes long HowTo! Many thanks & mucho Kudos young Sir 👍 Edit: just read your comment that you popped it 3 times!! Sorry to hear your pain, to help us mere mortals 😅😂🤣👍👍

Really well explained with all the mechanics behind the repair too. Thank you!!

I did this it helped soften the belt up alot but it was still not quite enough .Now I let the belt dry thoroughly and i came up with an idea .I got some baby power .I rub it on the belt from the top to bottom and rub it fairly well left some extra power on the belt and retracted it up and down so the extra power could saturate it inside the mechanism a little also .I pulled the belt up and down many times and then the belt started fully retracting once again .I tested it the next day and it worked fine still .the powder is not effected by the heat or cold which is good and it helps the belt stay slick as it allows the belt fabric to slide with much less friction which is the key enemy .Now the day will come when the spring that retracts it will lose its return tension altogether but thats down the road a long ways I hope. I vacuumed up the power and I was done .

Thanks! Just fixed my 2014 without removing from Jeep. Just rotated counter clockwise about 4 turns. You're awesome!

That is EXACTLY!!!! What I was looking for!!! Thank you So Much!!!!

You sir are a genius. This is exactly what I needed thank you!

Thanks for taking your time to help people.

You nearly put out your eye with that spring!!...cool! Thanks for the info man.

Thanks a lot for this video. Every other one I found just says clean the belt which is not the issue.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect! Thank you. That blue cover could have went like 1000 different directions. It was like you had a eye magnet for the cover.

Very good articulation, basic, easy, and to the point. thanks

This is phenomenal, if only for the time traveling. :) Thank you!

Yesss did that...thanks for the instructions how to put the spring back!

Thanks. I’ve been looking for a good explanation of how to do this. A+

Very helpful. I need to do this fix for Dream Girl's 02 Taurus. I would only suggest soaking the belt in soapy water (use Dawn), wring it out , and let it dry before getting into the mechanical portion of the fix. Many people will have tried cleaning as a first fix but if one hasn't, do it while it's off the vehicle...

Best video on the block! Thanks!

Your video really helped me! Thank you! Plus, it was very fun to watch! Congrats!

Thank you for the great video and I have the exact same issue with my YJ ..

Dude, this video rocks!

Finally someone made a video for what I needed! Now I broke the handle off of my seat recline on my 2000 Jeep Liberty don’t want to replace it just fix it like drill it out and retap it?

Hey, that might just work on my '89 Accord 2-door. They apparently don't make those belts anymore, but you may have just saved my bacon.

This is such a help thank you for taking the time

Got a good laugh over the spring! Thanks for that!!

Thank u sir for posting... jeep owners are indebted to u!

I had to do "NOT to do" because in my case it was the 40 yr old lubricant that crept into the spring and turned into a gooey paste. The belt would retract completely but it took up to several hours in colder weather. Thanks to brake cleaner spray and these instructions on how to rewind the spring, now the belt works as good as new.

Excellent informative video. God bless you.

Thanks so much. Excellent video.

You are the Man!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you. 🇺🇸🇺🇦❤🤍💙💛‌‌‌

Great video! Watch that spring!! Thx!

Great video...good information!

Best video on KZfaq this year!!

Great video. I just successfully rewound a seatbelt spring. Dude, you should wear safety glasses.

thank you that was super helpful!

wow... bravo on that spring!!!

Thank you so much.. you help us a lot..

Nice video! good job with the spring rewind without cussing up a storm like I would've. I hope your still making videos. My seat belt made a noise like the spoon flyin' from a hand grenade and now my belt is just laying across the seat so I am looking to see if its salvageable or needs replacing.

Really clear thanks! 🔧✅

The intro was like a professional KZfaqrs

thanks for video .really helpful

Great , this helped me thank you for all your effort .

Awesome video. You have a new sub!

Excellent video, Sir!!!!

Thanks for this 💪👍

This video gave me 😦 but now I know what not to do haha thanks!

awesome video , thanks for sharing !!!

great vid. going to try this on my FJ

Awesome video thanks dude!!

Complete solution 👍

Wow lol thanks for almost losing a eye, all for knowledge!!

Wait! You wind the spring in the opposite direction (inside out...)?? my spring broke and exploded (i had a rag over it though and the rag caught it all). Thank you sir i shal have another go tomorrow.. i didn't even think about winding it inside out👍. (Doesn't usually work with clock springs lol)

Awesome video

Can i replace only the spring cause my securty belt on my Ford Ka (2008) doesn't re-wrap?

My seat belt retracting assy won't come off.. The nut won't budge even after spraying it with WD40. Would it help if I simply sprayed WD40 in the small gaps between the spring housing?

If I ever do that, I promise to wear safety glasses. Thanks for the tip, though!

Heh-heh, I saw you flick that loose belt out the door at the beginning.... :)

One seat belt is doing the opposite of this. It is retracted all the way in and will not pull out, how do i fix it?

Took my seatbelt out on my Beetle and it rolled up fully and now won’t extend. It has an electrical harness on it. Is it locked cause it’s not plugged in or was I not supposed to let it fully retract while off the car? Anyone know what’s going on with it?

thankyou, that is fabulous

Thank you!

how to repair 2009 Lincoln mkz5 seat belt spring .everything else is in place

Thanks a lot!

Most of the time you don't need to wind it up. Just spraying some silicon-oil on the belt will help it retract

It says do not remove because they want you to go back to them and buy a NEW ONE at inflated cost.

thx brother !

Cool.Thanks

Great video and information. I'm wondering if my 95 Wrangler YJ looks the same as yours. What year is that Jeep? Thanks for the video.

Legend

lol they make safety glasses for a reason.

well done

Live saver

thanks, glad you didn't get hurt

Awesome

What if the spring is broken? Like from the edge broke until +- 20cm

Hi, can you say, how to change the belt without remove The spring?

Is this generally going to be the same with most seatbelts? I have an 86 dodge b250

I did the do not remove and was dumb enough to do it in front of my wife which I will never hear the end of. Any ways do I rewind belt on spool prior to putting spring back on or half way or all the way out????????

Would that cause problems with insurance because it’s pretty much a modified seatbelt since you drilled the rivet out.

How much should I rewind it? is 3 times enough? literally spun it about 10 times and it makes just a tiny difference in retraction

hahh found out the hard way about the spring myself....boiiiiiing
