Default 964/993 mirror help?

At the DE a couple weeks ago, I somehow missed seeing one of those red barrel trash cans and backed right into it, breaking my mirror off. It’ll be a couple months before I can get my car into a body shop to get it fixed, and it sucks driving without a driver’s mirror. I have a new OEM base I’d like to use until I can get it in and painted.

I’ve tried separating the housing from the base, but that spring holding them together is defeating me, and I don’t want to force it because I usually end up breaking things instead. I tried making a spring compressor that is shown on PP and rennlist, but can’t get it to work.

Anyone have experience separating these, or putting together aero mirrors, that can help me?
