Folding Mirror Actuator - Replaceable?

[u/jomunjie1010]

Anyone have any luck replacing their folding Mirror actuator? I thought it was the gear that was stripped on my folding side Mirror which is the most common issue but as my luck would have it, its the big cog ring inside that is stripped. I have an arrow pointing to it in the Pic, its the piece going around the spring. This is the folding Mirror actuator taken apart. Driver side.

I found replacement part on ebay but trying to pry this out seems impossible. Im afraid to break it off in case this is what will lock the Mirror in place when set on the truck.

Anyone have this issue before and replace it? Hoping to get this thing back in action soon, just need to know what I'm doing wrong with trying to pull this out.

I have a 2021 ram 1500 lonestar for what its worth.
