Antenna Mast Replacement (broken cable)
Took out the old one, but the geared nylon cable is busted. About three inches hanging on the end when fully retracted. I guess the rest is still in the motor.
I guess I have to take the darn motor out now to get this fixed. How much of a pita is this?
Nothing is ever easy, it it?

It's been about ten years since I did mine on my 92.
This is a link for 92-96 vettes but I would think the L98's should be similar.

The antenna was completely redesigned in 1988. This link might be more helpful:
