In order to get to the retractor mechanism in the center pillar:

Be sure to disable the SIR system first (there're a couple of ways to disable/enable; search online).

The SIR sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has two power inputs through fuses labeled AIRBAG (IGN) and AIRBAG (BATT). Disconnect the battery or pull the fuses (with the key OFF) but, in either case, beware that it may take 10 minutes or longer for the reserve deployment energy to dissipate from the SDM. Also, yellow electrical connectors (with safety locking CPA clips) are strategically located in the paths to impact sensors and air bag modules.
