Yes it's a zeon, just felt like with the wire it came with I was going to damage the line.
The wire is an upgrade. When they first came out, they came with zip ties. I used 4 zipties together and still broken them. I ultimately used a screwdriver and pryed on it carefully. The wire trick has worked for a couple people I know for sure. Good luck.
FYI, if you do damage the rope at that location, that's not where the force is held. The winching force is held with the first 5 wraps on the drum, so you'll be ok. I'm not telling you to be careless, but if you do knick the rope there, you won't be out of luck, it will still winch fine.
