broken mirror holder, how to remove mirror stalk
07/11/14 at 15:50:39

So bike was tipped and right hand mirror holder broke. Exact same problem as noted here: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1244246887

I found the broken part online and it's pretty cheap. Looks like this pic http://images.cmsnl.com/img/products/holder_big5967138A00-01_1124.jpg. It's basically the holder part near the brake fluid.

Problem is, I can't seem to get the mirror stalk itself off the broken holder. It looks pretty straightforward, just unscrew it, but I've tried with wrenches, tons of elbow grease, adding lubricant, etc. It won't budge.

Am I overlooking something stupid and/or does anyone have any advice?

TIA!

You should be able to hold the mirror and loosen the locknut with a 17mm wrench.
