For some reason, comprehensable only by supply houses, they have been
putting those brakes on backwards!!

Remove the wire from the brake with a pair of vise grips and hole the
drips and spool so it will not unspool.  Remove the brake and reverse it
so that the guide hole is toward the wire coming off the spool.  Reverse
the other part and thread the wire through it's hole then bend it up so
that it staightens the wire as it comes off the spool.

Attention must be paid to the way the thumb screw/nut are replaced. 
Make it so that the screw is tightened when the wire is pulled off. 
That way you need never worry about it's tightness until replacement.

Label the brake sides so you can tell in a glance what size it is.
