One trick is to pull the belt pretty hard and gain a little slack, if you will, from the web tightening up on the roll. Then you have to quickly release the belt, and then pull it loose.

there are two devices (not counting any explosive pretensioners that may be loaded into the B-pillar, don't ask) in the takeup reel that can get messed up or dirty or whatever and cause you grief....a pendulum device that locks the reel on deceleration (or when the reel gets tilted out of plumb because you're taking it out or whatever) and a ratchet device that may not release because the reel is so full that it's causing tension on the ratchet and so it won't release.

Worst case is you'll have to disassemble the B-pillar plastic covers and access the belt reel and trip the pawl to release the reel.
