Careful examination of the mechansim should help and you might be able to get a small probe in there to help it along.
Apologies if I'm confusing this with the 5300 series - it's been a while since we had one on the bench!
Ah, I've found a complete service manual now, and this shows the location of the eject lock. There should be a boss on the loading ring that operates the lock lever when the ring reaches the fully unloaded position. The diagram isn't all that clear, but at least I now know roughly where to look. I don't think there's a belt involved?
