69 non remote mirror disassembly

[Danzo]

Guys, has anyone successfully disassembled the mirror base from the pedestal for rechroming? Jon at Custom Chrome will no longer do this.
Ty, Doc.

When they did my mirror they took it apart, and it came back that way but was a non issue mating back together. Key would be how to exert enough force to pull apart using inline pressure. Possibly something like a plastic piece similar to a nail puller.
