Antenna/Motor removal..

Hey fellow FB owners..
i spent the majority of today trying to figure out how to remove the antenna (that can pick up tokyo..) and the motor (which mine is broken..).. but after removing the carpet, insulation, and vynl pannel. i only saw it, put my hand on it, but have no idea how to remove it... and if i could (please help me!) how could i rewire a shorter antenna or something to that effect...

Thanks guys!

You need to remove the right side rear taillight to get to the antenna.

I've got the same replacement antenna shown in this thread, and have no complaints (so far...)
