I May or May not have Broken my Brake.

So I was reveling in the glorious 3 inches we got in Maine today, having a sesh on my slightly covered lawn, when I noticed that my brake was crooked. I clicked out and found my brake completely disconnected. I then went inside and screwed the main screw back down, and now the brake is attached. But the other end is still detached, as displayed in the photo below.

How do I attach this? Should I bring it to a shop?

It looks like you haven't inserted the two prongs into their eyelets. If you remove the brake you should be clearly able to see where to inset them. Below is a picture outlining what I'm referring to as prongs and eyelets.

you're the fucking man and I love you in a very sexual way. That worked perfectly and my binding is now fully functional. You have my utmost respect and I give you my blessing of overall success in life.

That is precisely what happened. I don't know shit about bindings and I didn't see the prongs at first.

Thanks for pointing out what everybody probably already knew. You must feel proud.
