Seat belt winds the wrong way

Now what?

Try to take it out let it unwind slowly, try not to get it too knotted.

Gonna attempt it again just in case it was a fluke

Goto admit it took longer than first time.

 

Now start from the outside. Put the hook in the same a pics. Wind the spring opposite to the curl .

Cool. Will finish it off tomorrow. Greasy  

Cheers for the help  

For the sake of completeness…

I realised that replacing the coil was a little more complex than first thought. Looking back a the pictures I tried a few orientations:




Eventually I worked it out:




This matches the pictures and the bends in the coil. Then I flipped it to wind in the right direction:




This is reassuringly more fiddly to install and pulls the belt in more powerfully.



Finally…

You still aren't right mate but if it works, leave it alone.

Did you ever see it before it it came out?

If you look at the picture at the top of this page, that's mine before it was removed.

If you look at the loose coil it has a back flip shaped into. That's not to say mine was installed correctly in the first place.
