Default Antenna Mast replacement....

I spent about an hour replacing the outside window rubber pieces that rot and crack after about 1 year....lol They were pretty easy.

Went to replace the antenna mast which and its not going well. I removed the nut (rubber) and did what the book said. I gently pulled on it with the ignition on and it doesnt budge. I know that it says to pull but I dont think that means to do it as if I am deadlifting 500 lbs.....lol

Do I need to do something different because the book says no.

Thanks!

If your talking about the bubber gromit that is not the nut . The nut is under the gromit and you need a special socket. I am going to do mine do no have socket I am going to remove tire and well.

Thanks, after looking at the instructions for the 100th time it shows what the nut is. It screws on to a what looks like a brass piece. I assume you are saying the gromet as the piece the size of a silver dollar that fills the entire hole in the quarter panel. Right/wrong?

It says the tool is included with my new mast and that is what I used to take off that little rubber piece that screws on to the brass section.

There are 3 rubber pieces.

1. On the tip of the antenna.
2. The rubber "nut" that screws on to the brass piece.
3. The rubber gromet that fills the entire silver dollar size hole and bevels down to recess the antenna mast.

I am sort of lost. I might just rip the rear wheel off and try to get in that way and see what I am working with.
