Default Replacing mirrors

How do youreplace the side mirrors? I'm thinking about ordering new side mirrors, but I want to at least have a base knowledge so I know what I'm getting into.

Notice
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must
be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or
sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints,
lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces
unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping
force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and
specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and
systems.
Install the nuts that retain the outside rearview mirror to the door. Tighten
Tighten the nuts to 6 N·m (53 lb in).
