Youtube and eBay make this stuff really simple. In the last year or so I swapped a side mirror on my car, fixed a leak in my washing machine, fixed a stand mixer, and probably some other stuff using ebay parts and youtube tutorials.

I just downloaded the parts diagrams for it, found the broken part and ordered a replacement. Dealer wanted $300 for the whole side mirror assembly and over $200 in labor to replace it. The post was on ebay with free shipping for like $25 and it took me like two hours to fix it.
