Grab the mirror shaft with your hand, with your thumb against the 
base (top). Give it a hard yank down and to the rear and it will snap 
out of the ceiling. It is simply captured in spring clips.

If you already have the important pieces which have the 2 holes for 
the spark plugs then you are all set. There were also 2 much 
smaller pieces, but they are unnecessary. This is fortunate 
because they are gone from almost any engine which has been 
rebuilt.
