antenna removal

What is the best way to remove the top cap on the outside of the car so that I can pull out the antenna? I have a replacement antenna mast so I need to pull the whole assembly out to get at it.

thanks

shogun

unscrew it - if I remember right you can just use some needlenose pliers (protect the finish with something).

use snap-ring pliers.

You'll probably have to pull the motor though. Most of the time when the antenna breaks, there are pieces of it left in the motor that needs to be cleaned out
