T3: Re: Again- outside mirror fix

OK, lessee, assuming your mirror is more or less the same as the three 
I've worked on, there are two fasteners that hold the thing together 
(leaving aside the one behind the mirror):

* The first is a nut nested inside the plug on the door end. Take this 
off and a washer, spring and the plug will come off, leaving you with 
the mirror, the right-angle arm and the pivot shaft still together.

* Screw off the pivot shaft cap as you described. The outer shaft will 
then slide off the bolt, which is part of the right-angle arm. If it 
doesn't slide off, it's because it's stuck. There isn't any more to take 
apart. All these parts can get rusty or corroded except the stainless 
mirror back.

I hope this is more on the mark for you.
