Mikey Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Remove it from your bike. After that, there is a bolt (or 2) by the hinge, undo that. Then undo that bottom one. It'll undo, its screwed into an aluminum structure-thingy. That should do it. Whatch for miscellanious small collars, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obby Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have the same problem. I'm about 220lbs and have very strong hands (having worked on motorcycles/cars since I was a kid). I never felt a screw that tight (why didn't they use hex's). I put all my strength into that damn screw pressing, twisting, and cursing... ( :fart: ) f'ng thing wouln't budge. So I broke out the WD-40, hosed down the bi'ch, and waited a while (cooling down with a beer). Back I went, pressing and twisting, and cursing... f'ng f'ng thing. No love. Now what? :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Take the mirror off the bike first, so you can get better leverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 All depends on what your trying to do. If all you want to do is change the light bulb, you can leave the mirror on the bike. When you flip back the rubber boot thats on the mirror body, the two nuts that you see, undo those and the whole mirror part comes right out. then you can see the bulb and you can change it. If there is something else you want to do, at this point you will be able to see the inside and you will know what else you have to take apart. You don't have tuch that screw on the bottom if all your doing is changing the bulb. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said - if you do brake something (again I hope not) - I'm looking for the L/S inner pc. (black plastic w/ glass mirror inbedded. If you want to sell - Let me know.........
