Side mirror housing replacement on the cheap?

Side mirror housing replacement on the cheap?
I cracked apart the side mirror housing on the right side mirror backing out of a narrow garage (see pics). The mirror is still fully functional and unharmed- just the plastic on the housing is munched and looks crappy now. I saw entire OEM "style" replacement mirrors for around $50 (like this one: 2009-2010 Honda Fit Side View Mirror - Right (Passenger). 76208TK6305-PFM | Go-Parts). I looked at the various DYI mirror replacement videos and it doesn't look like a big deal to put in a new one. However I'm so cheap I don't really want to even spend $50. Then I saw I can get *just* the black housing part for around $15 (part #4 on this page: MIRROR for 2010 Honda FIT).
The question is- how big of a headache would it be to remove the mirror and then disassemble/re-assemble to get the the new (real OEM) black housing part put back in? (I couldn't find any DIY tutorials related to that...
