SS.... Don't give up! I had my unit off and on twice before I got it right..yes to the longer block and cam extension. Put the rubber strip in the back side of the unit and slide the whole thing on as one. Don't forget the soapy water. Don't over tighten anything. It's late here, so I'll get you some pix tomorrow morning and I'll read through the instructions to refresh my memory so I can offer some better insight. Once properly installed, the Breakaway works like a charm.
