Hi,
I've been trying today to replace my passenger side's wing mirror motor gear. I've got to the point where I can access the motor, and I've managed to take out the broken bits of the old wheel. Unfortunately, I'm a bit stuck now as I can't work out a way to remove the silver swirly bit that I've got to put the new wheel onto. It wiggles around a bit but not enough for me to pull it out.
I also can't see a logical next step in terms of dismantling the motor to get better access. This leads me back to my post title really. Has anyone here successfully managed to swap out an old gear for a new one? If so, would you mind giving me a few pointers as to what to do next?
I appreciate it's a bit of a long shot but thought it was worth asking. Thanks for your time .
