View of the roller/pre-tensioner assembly installed inside the pillar with a hand using a tool to manipulate it.
– through the special inspection window, make sure that the assembly is correctly inserted, by checking that the spring shown by the arrow in the inset is in the rest position against the pre-tensioner cover; if this is not the case, halt the procedure and show great care because there is the possibility that the device could be activated.

The operator should wear protective clothing (polyethylene gloves, protective goggles and ear-muffs), keep his face well away and keep as far away as possible when carrying out the operation.

– loosen the fixing bolt and remove the roller/pre-tensioner assembly complete with belt.
