Default antenna mast socket

I am needing to replace the mast on my 95 coupe soon. the FSM says use a antenna mast socket to remove the mast nut. It looks like a simple round socket with a 'dimple' on one side which mates to the nut.
Anyone have one of these available?

I could try needle nose pliers, but the socket would sure make it easier.

I think the socket comes with the mast kit if I remember correctly.

That's what the FSM says, but I bought the mast on ebay and no socket. So I was hoping someone that has done this has a socket laying around.

I recently hit a branch in my 96 and broke the antenna off. Do I just need a mast kit?

That should be all you need. It is an easy install. Kits with the socket are about $40 on ebay, or $20 without the socket. It should take you only a few minutes to replace the mast.

Kkhammer-Toptech is the man! He said send the socket on to you next. So send me a PM with your address. Don't worry about the postage, I've got you covered.
