Replacing brushes on Exxcel 1400?

In attempting to replace the carbon brushes on my Exxcel 1400 I find the replacement brush on one side is too long to slide in as a yellow block is in the way. This will not allow the longer brush to go into the channel. What should I be doing?

Needs a good pull to achieve this. Take motor out to fit properly it is really worth it. Check with torch at end of motor to see if both brushes located at correct angle onto spindle.
