[QUOTE="xcrave, post: 515391, member: 21738"] Hmmmm still looking for ways or DIY Guide... BTW !!!WARNING!!! Before attempting to open the gear inside the M5 Replica, PLEASE BE INFORMED: There is a large spring with a very strong counter pressure i spent almost 2 hours just to PRESS+SCREW the thing... and there is so much grease that its very slippery to hold (not that i dislike excess of lubricating substance ;P) but just be super careful... and have lots of patience and cold ones just to be on the safe side. Inside there is a magnetic gear (Rotation Device) that turns the spring and other item that i do not have specialty to repair :( But seem like the mechanism turns the mirror using the spring i presume... it looks like this inside... [IMG]http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h126/olly22n/mirror.jpg[/IMG] I miss this so much.... [video=youtube;-sDSkp42les]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sDSkp42les[/video] [/QUOTE]
