Title: 2018 Spade 150 - right mirror is stuck [updated]
Post by: w6euh on June 15, 2024, 05:39:15 PM

Right side mirror... Is it reverse thread? I'm trying to remove it. Tried clockwise (without applying excessive force), nothing. Counterclockwise, no luck either.
Note: actual mirror and rod successfully removed, but the base adapter thing is still stuck.
Soaking overnight in WD40, we'll see if it worked.
Thanks for reading, and for any suggestions.

Ride safe!

Replying to myself.
It is NOT reverse thread. It was just stuck, and with the help of wd40 and some controlled force, it worked.
So, it is righty-tighty, lefty-loosey, just like the left one.
Just in case someone else ever wonders.

Ride safe!

when mirrors do have left hand threads, it is on the left mirror where the force of the wind might loosen a right and thread

Which is what happens to my LIKE200I.
BUT - how to know, the first time!
