1991 OCC driver's seat belt locked fully open, no retraction at all. Is there a way to free/reset it or am I heading to LKQ?

You may be heading to LKQ if they have a B body. The retracters are side specific. You can swap belts if you are careful.

What color is your interior?

Blue belt. Spring is broken. LKQ Daytona is no go. Replaced once before with a used belt and retraction was weak. Any experience with seat belt rebuilders in Massachusetts?

Never had to get one repaired. I grabbed enough of them to have spares.

None of them retract strongly. You do not want them to snap back too quickly and damage the pillar trim.

I had it rebuilt by Safety Restore of Springfield, Mass. Cost was $80 plus $25 return shipping and it cost me $25 to have it boxed and shipped to them. Used a lap belt from third row seat to keep driving legally. Turn around time was less than one week and the job was done right. Easy re install and everything goes back in place (interior trim pieces, electrical connections, etc.) I would recommend this service.
