How do I remove the glass and backing plate from the motor on my 96 Silverado power mirrors to replace the glass and remove the motor? I know the backing plate will disengage from the motor, but i am not sure how to best do it without breaking the glass... I have already broken the passenger glass and still did not get it free.

Thanks!

- Eibach Install Failed.

  I put a set of the Eibach Pro Truck 2.0's on mine this past weekend. Lower bolts def was the trickiest part. Def leave the top bolts very loose, as in the nuts barely started. Have a jack under the LCA so you can move it up and down. One of mine I had to barely unclip one side of the spring nuts as to create the odd angle. With those spring nuts being fairly loose, and holes slotted, it can be done. Just have to keep at it. One note, I used a LONG extension with deep barrel socket on the inside nut on the passenger side, was able to reach it from the top. Swivel head ratcheting wrench on all the others. Couple of observations: sure seems like the rear lifted some, which I know sounds crazy since I kept the original leafs. I ran the front shock adjustments all the way up to the 137mm measurement. Unfortunately I didn't measure rear wheel arch height before. Front measure about 5/8" higher than before, but I'm sure it had settled some. Had 110,000 miles on the original Ranchos, I can't express how much better the ride is now.
- Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

  If it's not put to normal and right, it won't be from lack of trying on your part. Or because you didn't spend the money that needed to be spent. You're committed and thorough for sure.

  Just out of curiosity, why would there be no available updates if in fact updates had previously been available but not installed? Does a vehicle have to be under warranty to receive such updates?

  Thanks. The wheel hub looks fine and no play when moving the tire. I tried to take the axel out but couldn't get it to budge off the front dif. It's to hot for this stuff, I need air conditioner in the garage. Lol

  If there are updates/fixes you want, you could pay to have the updates applied by the dealer.
