remove the seat cushion, seat back and quarter trim panel, 2 screws at the top, the speaker and then the panel pops off, ( be careful because they break really easy) remove the belt anchor bolt at the floor and the anchor bolt to the rear seat support. then remove the seat belt retractor assembly. If the belt is bad, I would not recommend disassembling it to repair it. It would be a sad situation to find out the belt wasn't installed or repaired correctly when the back seat occupant flew thru the windshield in the event of a frontal accident.

my opinion only

Thanks for info abt getting the seat out.
I think the problem may be that the belt(s) got twisted as they were being rolled up on the retractor. Because of the now extra thickness on the spool do not roll up all the way.
