Only un screw the bottom then lift up but u need to use force but be careful not to hit your head when it comes free and have the doors on when you do this. if you loosen everything your not going to have anything to hold the mirror base as you try to pull the mirror out. this will work. I think your just afraid of braking the mirror but you need to pull up hard. then loosen the rest. i just did this like 3 weeks ago just so you know the passenger side mirror is useless

 

on the missus or the mirror?

 

dude I;m 6'5 300 lbs i play rugby and football still at 32. I literally hit it SO HARD with the hammer I am surprised the whole freaking door didn;t come off. only a year old on the jeep but DAMN the things are frozen on there

 

I don't know what to tell ya it worked for me

 

You decide....

 

pb blaster???

 

you got 2 hold your tounge right

 

Be careful with that, you will smack yourself in the chin with the mirror and bite your tounge (don't ask)

not to hijack, but for those that have the RR brackets, when you put the doors back on do they hit the mirrors? the warrior ones do

 

Try some of that and a BFH

 

I had the same problem... I almost gave up... but I took them off the doors, took them to my dad's house and used his vise grip thingie... soaked them in WD40 then I stuck a screw driver in the hole and pounded downward with a rubber mallet.

That finally worked. The end is kind of cone shaped, if that helps, it almost wedges in the hole. One good hit and it should pop out... just make sure you catch it somehow and don't let it drop on the floor like I did... luckily it didn't break.

I'm glad I did the Rugged Ridge instead of going completely mirrorless... I drove to my dad's place and a car passed on the right and was in my blind spot, when I went to change lanes, there he was... I still looked over my shoulder and saw him before I even began to change lanes... but how many times do we forget to check the blind spot? I kept checking where the mirror used to be, lol.
