Sorry guys, just needed to ressurect this thread for a question. What is the difference in the old Cam-loks for the traction belts and the new Cam-loks? The ones on mine seem to be pretty dang stiff. Are the new ones easier on the fingers?
Thanks, LT

The older ones are MUCH stiffer and harder to close. I simply took mine off and filed the edge (making it a bit more rounded over)that goes into the traction belt just a tad. Like I said though,just a little bit and it makes a world of difference. If you can compare the new one's to the older one's youll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Stiff is good in this instance. If there isn't already, get some thin rope and tie it in a loop to the cam levers.... This will give you the leverage to easily pull the cam levers out.
I think just for safety though, I will order the new ones. Thanks for the input guys.

Coug, that is kinda what I was getting at. I have already used the method Jeff suggested twice. It works rather well, but with the stiff cams, well, let's just say I got unhappy real quick.[:@]
