Hi, as much as the video shows that it can be done, I am not sure what the cone drill is for. is it possible to upload the full video of the process instead of pics?
I don't understand how a new sleeve for the sprint solve this issue, but I do have this problem. Is it because the original one has spun in the socket, is it simply the only way to access the motor and reset the teeth on the gear?
First you need to open the frame. After cleaning and lubricating the end position tip this kit is needed to be able to put the mirror frame back together again. Most mirror frames are rolled together from the factory, the only way to repair is to use this kit or you should think of a solution yourself how to assemble it. The problem is in this end lock stick,it oxidizes in the socket. You clean/lubricate and it works again.
Hey man! Great video! I got somthing wrong with my mirror on w166 ML! The mirror do not fold in some times! I think something wrong with gears or motor! Did your repair kit works on w166 chassis? Thank you!
Hi, w166 fits this kit, first check that the wiring is OK, if the wiring is ok then probably the device motor itself olso may be faulty. The main problem when moving from the end position is the simple diagnosis. But if the mirror closes and opens barely, then you may also be dealing with the transfer of oxide and then you can probably clean and lubricate it. Then the set I offered is needed for assembly.
Hello, you are right, you need to use a suitable size of a socket wrench or a piece of pipe both up and down. Compression is done by turning with bench vices. I also apologize for the late reply
Hi, yes the washers are a special size. Unfortunately, I do not sell the washers separately, sending it by post abroad will be more expensive for me than this piece is.
Hey man I reversered mine into a side wall and now I have the same promblem, do u think the lock is broke the the mirror is garbage or this should solve it?

Hello, the pipes are handmade, they cannot be purchased separately anywhere to ensure a good price. Washers ordered by special order in larger quantities. In addition, the price includes worldwide shipping. If it is expensive for you, you can go buy a new mirror frame, the price of which is +400eur. Or buy from demolition for ~100-200eur each.
