Base Removal

  1. Remove the rearview mirror.
  2. Wind each end of a wire around a bar.
    WARNING:
    • Using the piano wire with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using the piano wire.
    NOTE:
    • Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the piano wire to prevent it from breaking.
