Should be a white (cap) on one end that is the front and tension adjustment. Then the back there should be a lip in the tube. You make a loop in your line and snap the line into the lip you'll feel a pop. That is all it takes.

I replaced my Walker releases with Offshore pinch pad releases. Buy the stacker and you will have 2.
Just my opinion

Make sure its an open loop. 
Switch to blacks release or rubber bands asap and avoid the aggravation. jmo

Very hard to beat Scotty release clips. A lot of versions available too. Long to short leaders and large and small release clips along with stacker    versions.
 

My Searunner 190, "Four "D's" and a "C". Retirement money well spent.

There's a reason your friend GAVE you the Walker Releases.  It could be he might not be as good a friend as you think he is.
