In this case all that should be required is to remove the spool holder and move the brake lever back to its correct location, would probably have to bend down a little the raised tab so that the brake lever goes over the tab, then bend the tab back up which will then stop the lever from moving inwards.

The 2 circlips on the spool holder shaft do not fit in grooves in the shaft, it is just a case of gently priseing them along and off the end of the shaft, for the first circlip be careful not to damage the plastic tape counter pulley when priseing the top circlip off.

To double check the above is correct, I checked it out.

Photo 1 shows the normal situation where the brake lever is being held back by the slightly raised tab.

Photo 2 shows the tab having been bent down which allows the brake lever to move inwards.

Photo 3 shows the spool holder refitted with brake lever in the incorrect position following on from Photo 2.
