Re: Replacing my Mirrors, and removing window crank.

Now the fun comes when you try to negotiate those three nuts that hold the mirrors on. In my golden years, I find that there are some tools that become much more interesting and useful. I went to Lowe's and bought a set of metric/american sockets that actually fit into/onto a flex head ratchet and allow the stud to go through the hole in the socket. I believe they are called "Flex Thru" sockets. Seems I spent about $40 for the set, but they became invaluable to me. You may be nimble enough and/or have tools that would work, already. My tough nut was the one that is the farthest away from the access hole. Oh, there's one nut down in each one of my front doors....if I ever find that I need to get one and can't find 'em anywhere else. I have spares...
