Yes, but the ratchet part, a little hinged tooth, is what goobers up.

The "ratchet thingie" on airplanes is called "inertia reel." Many a
time in the early days, I'd lean forward too fast in the seat and be
"arrested" by the inertia reel. One soon learns not to reach/lean
forward so fast.

Along a similar issue, one of the seatbelt grabbers (the thing you
stick the belt into) was not grabbing on the SD. I poked around at
it, thinking some crud had gotten in there that was keeping it from
going all the way down to engage the tab. Not the case. So I
started squirting PB in there and working the release and using a
screwdriver to push on the grabber tab and finally got it loose and
working. I guess it just got goobered up after 29 years.
I would suggest something similar on your retractor, I had that
problem on some former car and it was the ratchet thingie that
grabbed the gear on the retractor that was goobered. Some
cleaning/lube dealt with it.

Ok, so not an immediate issue as I have pulled the plates on the 76
300D as of yesterday and it will sit in my garage until spring.
However, the seat belt retracters are getting somewhat troublesome -
especially the passenger front seat side.
They are difficult to pull out and use because the darned thing
keeps locking and then one has to back it up a bit in order to pull
it out some more.
Anyone have experience with this sort of thing? My basic thought is
that it must be possible to lube them a bit and that would likely
solve my problem.
