Default Seat Belt Release Failure

The driver side seat belt disconnect (release) on my 2002 RX300 with 183K miles barely releases. It feels like an internal spring failure. I tried lubrication with no success. Any tips on replacement? I see used ones on eBay for a reasonable price.

I posted a DIY, please check the DIY link sticky link thread.

It is a safety item. Just purchase a new one. Lubing is not the best idea for seat belt buckle. Nothing else it can soil your clothes.

Thanks. I did try a key word search first and didn't find it. But a search of the DIY section, after your posting, did find it.
