Without the halyard restrainer the headsail may not furl and unfurl properly without wrapping the halyard. Did the whole thing come off or just the sheave and pin? The pin is just held in by cotter pins and if they wear/fall out then the pin can work free and drop the sheave. Here are a few pictures that I happen to have of mine. Its the small sheave that the blue line runs under.
