I've only used an easy out once and it broke. My problem went from bad to worse and I had to get a machine shop to take the "easy out", out. What a PITA!

Ccass,

The system has been in for about 2 years, so I guess the new tails are not the answer. Dave, thanks for the pictures. I'll probably give that a try and see if I can get a better fit.

I used the original pedal. You will need to swap out the clevis, pin etc.. from the old cable onto the new one. No big deal.
