Default Antenna Mast

I am trying to replace my antenna mast. I removed the nut on the mast but can not seem to pull the mast out with moderate force. Any ideas?

No. From what I understand, I take the one nut off the top surrounding the mast, turn on the radio, and the mast should slide up and out....

Pull harder. I f the nut is off and the radio is on, it will come out with a little force. You might want to pull the motor cover off and check for loose fragments before installing the new mast.

This guy didn't say and nobody asked, but year is important. The mast is only replaceable on '88-'96.

Just a note.
