Does anyone know how to take apart a drivers side door mirror? How to I remove the door mount section from the shaft that attaches to the mirror and the outer plastic? I can't get them separated.

 

Its a muthafuker.. Good luck.. I tried to do this to install a mirror relocate kit and i soon gave up

 

I was able to separate mine after hours of pulling and banging the bolt, which I backed out a bit and took a mallet to that with a piece of wood over it. I ended up with a fat lip when the damn thing finally gave in when I was pulling up on it. Good luck with yours, and wear a face protection if your yanking it up.

 

Spray some WD40, use a rubber mallet and hit the mirror frame. I had the same problem and that worked. It's a bitch cause the aluminum in the bracket gets corroded. Good luck!

 

Well......I just called it. I just used the mirror I just got that has some scratches on the plastic. When I knock this one off with a tree again, then I can try to separate it then!

 

I gave up 3 years ago tried again last year didn't work its destined to stay where it's at and I have no problem explaining that to the police officer who pulls me over for no mirrors and doors

 

Just take the bolt out from underneath and turn the mirror halfway back and smack the bottom the the mirror with your hand. Hard.

 

I tried smacking it hard with more than my hand and it didn't work!
