C34 Mirror disassembly

Hey, I got a replacement drivers mirror and since it's the wrong colour I wanna repaint the housing. I've it apart for the most part, but haven't got the wiring out of the rubber. Wanting to know if any here knows how to get completely apart.

Where I'm at.

I assume the plug needs to come off? Then pull all the wires through. Is that what you are asking?

Yeah, sorry if my question was poorly worded.

Just wrap it in tape. Yes you could unpin the plug and pull it through but you can break the fitting doing that, and you might put it back together incorrectly...

I took a photo of the wiring order so that ain't a problem. This happens to be the first mirror I've worked on that has electrics.

Yea correct procedure would he take the pins out but that's tough. If you tape the connector and lube it up just gently pull it through 

I may have to try that. Worse comes to worse I may just cut the wires and solder them back together afterwards but I'd rather do it the proper way.

well if you want to depin it, the rear half of the connector will swing up and around which will unlock the pins.  use a sharp pick to lever it up then out of the way.  then each pin will have a plastic locking tab, get the pick under it and the pin will slide out of the connector.  Reassembly is much easier, just push the pins back in then clip the locking tab back onto the rear of the connector...keeping in mind if any pins is out of order you will probably fry something.

Definitely no need to cut

I've gotta figure out why my passenger side mirror is loose.  Any drive I take, the wind pushes the mirror in slightly, and it's at a point where the power motors can't fold it back out again.  Not sure if there are gears in there or springs to hold it in place, but something isn't working as it should...

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
