Due to being 18 years old, living in Wisconsin, and the 50*F weather on New Years eve, I became bored and curious and started messing with things on my '95 Wildcat. I saw there were cams that adjust the spring tension in the rear suspension. Even though they were already set to where I wanted them I messed with them anyways. One turn, and it was in a million pieces. I turned them the right way and everything. I went and bought some new ones and the guy told me to take her easy next time I try that. I just want to know why they broke on me. I used a socket wrench with a spark plug socket as the books states, and when you turn, it is hard at first, but bam! it just slams right into the next one. That's how I shattered it. Can someone please tell me the right way to do it.

Just try to ease it into the next position instead of letting it snap. Also, don't go from the highest position directly to the lowest, i.e. 3 to 1. Instead, go from 3 to 2 to 1. Keep in mind that you had (probably) a 10 year old piece of plastic, and it was getting brittle.

You can also buy billet aluminum ones that are much more durable.

I don't like using a socket wrench while turning it, I prefer to use the sparkplug wrench and screwdriver shaft from in the AC tool kit. When using the socket wrench, once the cam is over center, the socket wrench will let it free fall to its next level, thus your "bam and slam". I have even seen where it will free fall two spots depending upon which level you are starting at. Using the socket and screwdriver shaft will allow you to control the fall rate of the cam.
Good luck.
