I use to work for a builder and we had to remove two mirrors that were
chipped. .Our mirror guy and I pumped up two large suction cups that
they use and with steady pulling we got one off. On the other one we
cut the dry wall around it and pull mirror ard dry wall both ,a little
dry wall repair but we saved the mirrors.

Just curious. You cut the drywall around it but how did you pull it off the
wall? The drywall behind the mirror must have been screwed/nailed to the
studs.
