Man, that's a bummer indeed....all I can say is that I've been there on the idiot moves. Try breaking your "new" A cam by overtightening only the middle bearing. I could continue but I won't. Anyways, I replaced my TABs a few years ago with scantech ones (at the time I didn't know better) and, up to this point, they've held up well through various rallycrosses and very rough terrain. I somehow doubt they'll last as long as the boge ones, but they are ok for a while. Next time I do it, I'm going with superpro poly ones though....then you don't even have to take the metal sheath out, and they almost never wear out. Well, best of luck on that, and hang in there! it is a super sucky job indeed.
