Remote mirror adjuster bezel nut

[Hemirunner]

Is there a spanner style wrench available for this thing? If not, what’s the best way to remove?

I use snap ring pliers to get them off.

I bought a socket off of eBay and also one for the antenna nut.

Pliers and cloth to protect and un screw
No need to buy a tool

I have also taped the end of a flat blade screw driver and just put it in the slot then tapped down on the screwdriver with my palm....

you can use long nose pliers with tape around the ends so it doesn't scrap the chrome

This would be worth its weight in gold right now, lol. It won’t come of with pliers.

Make a socket with an old socket and a dremel. Cant be too hard to do.

If it gets destroyed you can buy a new one cheap and keep moving on what your trying to do...

If you can wait...This should work on that bezel.

Maybe a piece of hard wood and small dead blow hammer to break it loose?

I used a long nose, needle nose pliers. Put the tips in the 2 slots opposite of each other. Use one hand to squeeze the plier handles to keep the tips in the slots, Use a screwdriver through the legs of the pliers, below the hinge as a turning lever.... Put masking tape on the door panel to keep from scratching it when the pliers slip off..........................................MO

Thanks for the picture . That confirms for me that the adjust lever is supposed to be bent................................MO

There is a special socket for that, and it enables you to hold the lever while turning the nut. Spray some WD-40 in there first to lube up your nut before attempting to undo it. Going in dry will potentially cause binding.

Try a grinder disc spanner/wrench - I'm sure you have one or two floating about. Maybe even fashion one up with some flat bar steel.

There is always more than one way to skin a cat.

It was straight when I put it on. I’m needing to replace it as I bent it getting in over the roll bar.

That stud unscrews. You can also straighten carefully once removed...
