gen 1 mirror assembly removal.

[master hec0]

i almost have the mirror assembly out of my 87 b2. but there is a bolt on the bottom of the door that i cannot get out. they call it a nut and washer assembly. anyways it just spins and spins and wont actually loosen because the other side is spinning with it but the inside is just rounded off so i cant put a wrench on it. i need this out,

its identical to the one on the window track. its just like the one on the bottom called nut and washer

Vice-grips.

did vise grips. pliers even tried using a wedging tool to stick under it and lift up to try and stop it from moving. didnt work.

If all else fails, try to get a dremel or some sort of small cutting wheel or saw in there to cut the bolt off, replace the nut and bolt and you'll be good to go.

yeah i can cut it but i was hoping for an easier remedy because i need to get another from a wreckers and you cant bring power tools in.
