1995 C1500 Silverado seat belt issue

[Fourtyfive]

Today my driver side seat belt got locked in the retracted position for no reason. I drove the truck to work, no issues with the seat belt, but when I got in to go get some lunch, I went to put the belt on and it moves about 2-3 inches out of the retractor and locks.

The other issue I'm having, is that I can't get the retractor cover off to see if theres something inside locking the belt or if it is going to need to be replaced.

Can anyone guide me on how to get the cover off and if possible, fix the belt without replacing it. Thanks for any help in advance.

its old but seat belts should be still covered by manufacturer.

Been a while since I posted this but wanted to follow up. I did get it unstuck, I finally got p!$$ed at it and just yanked it about 3-4 times pretty hard(Basically recreating the slamming on my brakes) and it popped lose and has been working fine since.
