I just ordered new ends from Paragon. They are made of steel rather than plastic, so they should never fail again (64.95). Take a look at them before you buy more plastic ones. I understand that the plastic gets hot from the engine heat and becomes brittle.

As for installing them, I plan to tape around the threads where the bottom of the others were located so I get the new ones on right where the old ones were. I haven't tried it yet, so take that advice with a grain of salt.

How the adjustments are made...no clue. Maybe I can help after I further damage mine.
