Tow mirror install

[Mrhorsepower]

I bought the tow mirros for my 1995 k1500 and am wondering which tool can i used to tighten them up because the area is so small in the door

Open end wrench. I believe it's like 10 or 11mm... If you drop it in the door, pull the door panel and the speaker and you can reach kt

For one you can use a 10 mm short socket, 1/4" drive, for the other two I use a ratcheting box end wrench... seems to be about the best tool I have used for that.

Yah i used a rachet for 2 and a rachet wrench for one very easy install

My door is the one that I won't need to take the whole panel off. There's just a small piece that I take off to access them. Thanks for your help guys

He said if you drop your wrench take the whole panel off our doors are the same as yours

I used 10 mm deep well with extension for one and open end wrench for the other 2

 

[Mrhorsepower]

Oh okay thanks for clarifying that

 

[Mrhorsepower]

The instructions don't mention which side of the threaded bolt goes into the mirrors. Do I put the shorter side into the mirror or the longer?

Shorter
