Broken Look Brake

So I was skiing at my local hill today and went off of a table and completely ate shit. I kinda messed up my ankle, but more importantly I broke the brake on my Look Pivot 12 Jib bindings. It looks like there are 2 grooves in the brake and then a hole on each side where the metal brake fits into and one of the brakes popped out of that hole and I can't figure out how to get it back in.

Any suggestions?

I tried to pop it back in but I couldn't get it close enough to pop in. I was putting alot of force on it and I didn't want to put on too much force and cause it to break. I'll have a some pics up in a second...

buy a new break, and have the shop fix it for you, because when you take the heal peice of you mess with the forward pressure, not something you want to do, unless you know what your doin

I managed to snap it back in, I basically had to push it down like half way and work it in, It was possible doing that, but still a pain in the ass. The only thing is the plastic is a little weak so if i tweak the break in the right direction with enough force it can come back out, but i doubt it will be able to get tweaked in such a manor easily.

If it continues to happen i'll probably email look and see whats up.
