reheeled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fixed' is the definition.
(reheeling is a kind of fixing)

'up old brogan with grass found around part of italy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'part' could be 'heel' (heel is a kind of part) and 'heel' is located in the answer.
'grass' could be 'reed' (type of grass plant) and 'reed' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for reheeled that I've seen is " Repaired shoes".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
