The retractor spring can be tightened a few turns, I believe
4 in my case, the helps ALOT, but it seems the spring basically
lost its "spring" and needs a replacement - source? Mine now
pulls most the way, most the time.
Pick the end that has the flat black cover and remove 2 screws.

Yes, this can happen, to prevent this keep pressure on the plate
while you "slide" it aside, this keeps the spring from getting
away from you, looks like 50 turns in there... Find the outer
end and pull it up, rotate a couple of turns and reattach.
I'd be sitting at a workbench when you start this, its a little
tedious. Also spray some WD-40 in this thing to loosen it up,
don't get anything on the belts!
