Something that just occured to me.You MAY be able to take the pin out of the clevis on the riders side brake rod,and pull that lever back far enough for the parts to be turned back to where they belong.You MAY also be able to push the button down,and pull the lever back hard enough to roll the pawl back down into place.Things never pop back into place as easily as they popped out though.When properly adjusted you should be able to go from free wheeling to locked up in three clicks.
