God I hate these things. It has been a battle with these things.

I ordered a new replacement and it came with all the different hooks. I had thrown out my previous one cuz it didn't work, so I didn't know which hook to use. So i made a guess at which looked right, but it was wrong, too long.

So now I gotta somehow get that hook out (held in with a little pin) and put in another one. Anyone have any ideas how to get that out without damaging things?

Also I friggin ripped the rubber boot as well. Man that thing is kind of weak.

Yea I f'd this one up good. What's the best way to salvage this?

It came with different hooks? Where'd you buy it? Ford ones have only 1 hook style on them and they come ready to install.
