Default 1980 C3 Antenna Bezel

My 1980 C3 with a factory AM/FM/CB radio has a broken antenna cable. I am ready to replace the cable but I need to know if I have to remove the bezel from the top side of the body to get the power antenna unit out. I think I have the rest of it figured out but I did not want to
mess with the bezel if the unit will come out without removing it.
Thanks

Yes you need to unscrew the bezel to remove the antenna from the car. It's not usually that difficult. I have used a pair of 90 degree snap ring pliers and lots of blue tape to protect the paint just in case.
