removing the mirror from housing

[fatboyf150]

does anyone know how to remove the outside mirror from the housing without breaking it. i have a set of sho-me led's i want to mount to the front side of the housing and want to hide the wires inside the door. thanks for the help.

there should be 3 bolts that bolt the mirror to the door frame youll find them when you take the door panel off

probably... but you'll break the glass first... good news is that your murrays store/o'reillys store sells replacement glass for them at around 9-15 dollars a peice... break one to learn the right way of taking it off... buy a replacement, and do the other the right way.

There are 3 guide pins surrounding the main "ball and pin", if you push the glass all the way up or down you will see what I mean.
If you get a long flat tip screw driver and place it at the outer edge of the "ball and pin" and twist the screw driver it will pop out.
That's how I did mine when I installed the turn signals on the bottom.

Good luck.
