If you look closley at the cable eye in this picture you will find the correct termination on the original cable..
There is then a removable clevis and hook..This original eye slides easily through the rollers..once the clevis and hook is removed..
If you replace the cable with new cable ,a properly woven cable eye should be used instead of the abortion used with clamps and bolts as shown in the other picture..
This is after market ,back yard mechanics handiwork and not a proper CMP cable eye..
