Antenna masts shouldn't cost much I found mine on ebay for about $20 US. I think what ur looking at is the whole assembly, motor and mast. I don't know because the first ebay post is dead.
My power antenna mast had broken off.Problem is I'm getting the stub of the old mast out first. It stuck. I am wondering if I am not pulling on the wrong part as there is the outer most metal tube and then the section inside that which I have thoroughly mangled trying to remove.Can anyone with experience? let me know which part I am supposed to be yanking out of there and how to remove it.
Use a pair of needle nose pliers and CAREFULLY unscrew it, by opening the pliers and place the nose into slots on both sides of the mast. Turn on the ignition and radio, it should start to come out of its mount, the mast and the white plastic retractor. Remove from the base, hopefully the plastic did not break off inside. Get ur replacement ready and have a helper turn off the ignition, if u have the teeth pointed the right way it will retract all the way in. If u didn't, turn the radio back on and try again. Someone mite tell u they auto adjust, but sometimes that causes the plastic to break. CAREFULLY screw the retainer back on .
