oregonk5 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Passenger front seatbelt has a broken retractor spring. This is the obnoxious dual retractor set up in the door. Can't find any at my local junkyards or eBay. Would anybody happen to have the OEM part number for the passenger front retractor assembly? Or maybe you know what other GM models shared this set up?

KHE Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Did the spring break or just come dislodged from the shaft? If it is the flat type spring, you could heat it and form a new end. This the RWD car correct? If so, I believe the Caprice Classic had the same setup but am not sure. You could buy a belt assembly and swap out the springs.

You need to heat the end of the spring, form it, then quench it in water. If you just cold formed it, there will be residual stresses and that is why it will break in short order. I would think the spring in question is common to just about all GM cars the more I think about it, Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
