This happens to me rather often.. Just pull the shortest length of wire out of the brackets - use pliers and pull from the back. If there is a sharp bit sticking out from what is left, just cover with a chunk of wax. You're not going to do any harm by pulling the wire out because they are going to have to replace it anyhow.. Good luck, hope you get things under control soon.
