Sorry, It was not the wing mirror assembly I was asking about, simply the mirror itself which I plan to replace.
Thanks in anticipation.

Removal
CAUTION:If as a result of accidental impact, a powered fold-back mirror is moved 'out of position', it must only be re-positioned by initiating the fold-back sequence as described in this article. No attempt must be made to manually return the mirror to the normal position. Failure to adopt this procedure will result in vibration of the unlocked mirror head and consequent loss or distortion of rear vision.

Remove exterior mirror glass.
Motor glass to fully inward position. (1)
Pressing inner edge of glass outwards, ease outer extremity rearwards away from mirror housing. (2)
