I am having a problem removing one of the nuts holding the stock mirror in place. I was able to remove two of the nuts holding the stock mirror in place. The 1st one I was able to use a socket, the 2nd I had to use a wrench, but the third one I can't use either. The socket is too big to fit in between the door panel and the nut and the wrench doesn't seem to work.

Im not sure exactly what the problem is as ive never installed mirrors but i do know the door panels are easy to remove. Just a few screws around the perimeter and one by the handle if i recall correctly. You might need a special bit if i recall correctly.

i'm assuming you are talking about the 3rd one, the tough one. i used a wrench, i forget the size, but it worked just very very tiny turns, probably took me about 15 mins just for that one. just keep trying the wrench, maybe even a different size and it will eventually come off, remember it will also be a p.i.t.a to resintall the agent 47s

That's the one, I'll see if an open ended wrench will work.

I have swapped mine twice now as I needed to remove them for paint and did not have any issues. Try a ratcheting box-end wrench.

I installed mine not long ago. Open end wrench FTW

Ratcheting box-end wrench is the only way to go!

Finally got them installed. A flex wrench worked well. The biggest PITA was removing the wiring from the old mirrors. I used a little too much force on the drivers side and broke one of the wires. Good ole electrical tape should fix it.
I will keep them unpainted. I'll post pics later.

Got these for Christmas, planning the install this weekend. Where are the pics?

I'll get them as soon as my new camera battery charger comes in. I can't find the charger anywhere.
