Record the positions of the washers and spacers on the seat belt anchors, ensuring they are refitted in their original positions. The front seat belt inertia reels feature a mechanical or pyrotechnic pretensioner mechanism, which should not be tampered with or tested. De-activate the airbag system to also deactivate the pyrotechnic pretensioner before removing the seatbelt. For easier access, remove the relevant front seat and the centre pillar trim panels. On the driver's side, unclip and remove the trim over the pretensioner on the seat belt lower anchorage, lift the locking catch, disconnect the pretensioner wiring connector, and undo the pretensioner mounting lower anchorage bolt. On the passenger's side, undo the seat belt lower anchorage bolt. Next, undo the inertia reel upper and lower mounting bolts and withdraw the reel from the centre pillar. Release the locking clip and disconnect the wiring connector from the inertia reel, then remove the reel and seat belt from the car, ensuring that all mounting bolts are tightened to the specified torque during refitting. For the front seat belt stalk, remove the relevant front seat, trace the wiring back from the seat belt stalk under the seat cushion, unclip it from the securing clips, unscrew the bolt, and withdraw the stalk assembly from the side of the front seat, tightening the stalk anchor bolt to the specified torque during refitting. For the rear side seat belt, remove the rear seat cushion and the relevant rear seat back, then remove the luggage compartment lower and upper trim panels for access to the inertia reel. Unscrew the lower anchor bolt from the rear floor panel, followed by the upper anchor bolt and the inertia reel mounting bolt, then remove the seat belt assembly from the vehicle, noting the fitted position of the inertia reel on the mounting bracket before removal, and ensure all mounting bolts are tightened to the specified torque during refitting. The inertia reel for the rear centre seat belt is located internally within the rear seat back, requiring the seat back to be removed and completely dismantled, a complex operation that necessitates considerable expertise to avoid damage; thus, any issues with the centre seat belt and reel should be addressed by a Nissan dealer. For the rear seat belt buckle, remove the rear seat cushion, unscrew the bolt, and withdraw the relevant buckle assembly from the floor panel, tightening the buckle anchor bolts to the specified torque during refitting.
