1 Extracting mirror glass from mirror pod on my '85 K100 RT Thu Aug 16, 2012 3:52 pm

I've found two suggestions; one video, demonstrating how to slam the pod with glass down onto a solid surface with quite a bit of force causing the mirror glass to fall out; a second was a description involving threading a couple of tie wraps around the back of the mirror as close to the socket as possible, and then using a screwdriver under the tie wraps to apply the upward pressure to the back of the mirror glass to pop out the mirror. I haven't tried the first one for the simple reason that I'm afraid I'll break the glass. I am trying the second, but, applying a lot of pressure is not resulting in any indication at all that the ball is popping out of the socket.
I've seen some other references to people doing this with the mirror still installed on the bike. Are there any other suggestions about how to make the thing pop out?
