Was loading things in the bed and noticed this was broken.

That's a first I've seen on here.

Mine broke about two years ago. I think it cost $30 for the replacement cable. I installed it myself in less than 10 minutes.

That's not a problem for us "swingers".

Yeah, replacement looks easy.

I rarely use the drop-down tailgate. I'm swingin' most of the time, too. Moisture gets in under the cable coating and... rust happens.

I'll probably go both ways. Wait.. that doesn't sound right....

Plenty of replacements including aftermarket. Mine broke and believe the non-Honda replacement I bought was less than $15 delivered. It actually looked to be better quality than the OEM version. Never had an issue with the replacement. Dorman part# 38543 is one choice. It will take longer to find your tools than the actual job of replacing it will take.

I'm almost sure this is what I bought from back in 2013:

Mine did the exact same thing about 3 or 4 years ago. Very simple to replace. Had to order it since the dealer didnt stock it.

Thanks for the dorman part number.

Mine broke about three years ago, went to the dealer, got the new one and replaced it in minutes.

Ha! Thanks to the part number I found it on Amazon for 19 bucks and some change. I know the ebay was cheaper but I didn't want to have to set up another account. :smile:

HA! You got that right. I don't have tool that will fit the bolt head. Some kind of large star shape. Had some things that almost fit but don't want to strip it.

Luckily I work at a semi-truck service shop. Maybe one of the mechanics has one.
