    Remove the entire retractor assembly and try that way. Depending on the angle the car is at sometimes the retractors lock up.

    Hold the mechanism at the same orientation as if it was fitted to the vehicle and try it.
    AS mentioned by Mudski...if the mechanism is at an odd angle then the device thinks something is wrong and will lock.
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Thanks guys - I finally worked it out. As Mudski & the evil twins mentioned, it helps to hold in the correct orientation. What really helped was finding that there is a small ball bearing that actuates the locking pawl & when it moves it locks the pawl. very fine to hold it at the right angle but it does work.

    Cheers,
