Default seat belt question

I am trying to install a 3-pt. EMPI shoulder belts in my '71 Convertible SB. I noticed when I unpacked the belts that there was some slack in the belt coming from the retractor. I foolishly allowed that slack to wind back into the retractor and now I cannot get that slack back out to finish my installation. Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to fix this without tearing everything apart??? I have heard that opening up the retractor can be a nightmare. Thanks.

Sometime you have to have those things absolutely level in order to get the
lock to release. Make sure you are holding the retractor in a position that
would be level in all directions then try to pull the belt out.
