When I link the wires to the levers the wires rotate in FS, even when I have key frames set up for the wires, then the wires rotation effects the levers, Can someone please help me, I'm losing fist fulls of hairs LOL, Thanks guys

Unlink them, do the animations for the levers and wires separately, tag them separately.... I won't tell if you won't tell either. There's nothing that says they HAVE to be linked - they just have to LOOK linked.
