Part two :

44-r75bmr close up, work the teeth until the washer comes free, take care here and remember it is under pressure form the spring underneath

45-r75bmr separated parts, newly modified spigot, spring and now unusable retaining washer

46-r75bmr using a hacksaw, cut a groove the thickness of the blade, 3mm's in from each end

47-r75bmr close up

48-r75bmr here's the three pence cure I was talking about, fix one cir-clip at the keep end of the spigot

49-r75bmr insert spigot into the door fixing section of the mirror assembly

50-r75bmr just to give an idea of how it all fits together, leave the two plastic washers in this position, but do not assemble remaining parts at this stage

51-r75bmr in order to get that pesky spring back in its home, compress and tie down as shown and again opposite

52-r75bmr spring pushed firmly all the way to the bottom of the chamber

53-r75bmr re-assemble the inner assembly with pivotal spigot to the main mirror body, because we drilled away the retaining rivets, fix with small self tappers

54-r75bmr turn over unit and secure second cir-clip

55-r75bmr close up

56-r75bmr cut away string ties from the spring

57-r75bmr et voilá mirror pivots as it should

58-r75bmr this way

59-r75bmr and that way !

60-r75bmr showing position of the mirror motor, but first reconnect the mirror rocker, using thin long nose pliers to hold the yellow pins, push the rocker sockets firmly home

61-r75bmr rocker and motor re-united

62-r75bmr connect electrics

63-r75bmr as I said, the plastic clips easily break, self tappers hold the motor firmly in place

64-r75bmr the tricky bit is clipping the mirror glass onto the rocker, some say the reversal of removal is the answer

65-r75bmr if this was so, then clip the mirror into the far end of the rocker, then the clip end of the rocker, in reality I found it much easier to do this in reverse, clip in first, then firmly push the mirror home

66-r75bmr mirror safely back on the rocker, intact !

67-r75bmr reconnect electrics

68-r75bmr replace rear decorative scull cap finisher

69-r75bmr cap firmly home

70-r75bmr all done ready to go back on the car, three pence cir-clips are us !

71-r75bmr folding as it should

72-r75bmr replace inner door trim finisher

73-r75bmr tape rattling door lock pin, before putting the door card back on, thumping with side of fist to get the clips home
