Re: Side Mirror Installation Tips Needed
It turns out the second pin was harder to remove than the first. After I had used the longer pin pusher, I tried to drive the hinge pin out with a longer punch and a hammer. That didn't work! I tried to drill up from the bottom and that proved harder than I thought. Next, I thought I could use my pneumatic chisel to drive it up from under the cap of the pin. All that did was bend the pin! Finally, after all that, including heating the hinge with a propane torch, it suddenly dawned on me to put a shorter pin pusher up into the hinge and use the longer one to drive it farther up. Duh! It worked like a charm after that. Sometimes the simplest answer takes the long way around in my brain.
