How Do I Remove The Inside Mirror From The Mounting Arm Without Cracking The Socket?

I have a nearly mint condition inside rear view mirror from a W123 that I wanted to install in my W116 but I found that though the mirror frames are identical, the mounting arm on the W123 mirror is too short to be able to adjust the mirror correctly.

I want to swap the W116 mounting arm onto the W123 mirror frame, but how do I do it without cracking the plastic ball socket? I have tried this in the past and they always crack when trying to remove the mounting arm from the mirror frame. Is there a trick to this?
