Broken off sun visor arm
Whats up everyone. I did a search with no luck and I'm hoping I can get some help.
One of my sun visors broke off a while back. I was able to replace one sun visor that was still intact, however the passenger side left a piece of the metal arm of the visor in its mounting location (attached to the retainer and spring). I was able to remove the retainer and spring no problem, but the piece of "sun visor arm" is still stuck in that location. I've tried using pressure to remove it and even tapped it but I'm afraid to break something. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you all in advance.

If you removed the retainer/retainers and have the tension spring in hand the stub that's left from broken visor should fall out. If it doesn't remove the plastic trim and use a socket and C clamp make a small Ball Joint press and try to push out. Or mark location and un -bolt the whole mount and be as violent as needed on a bench
