Radio antenna removal and replacement

[74bronk]

How hard is it to remove old one and replace?antenna is broken to the base... doesnt look like i can unscrew it to replace looks like the whole thing needs replaced. Unless someone has something better to replace existing one.

It takes a special spanner wrench. Otherwise it's easy.

I replaced the stock antenna with a Pep Boys electric antenna. It has been about 20 years ago. I had to make a new threaded nut and possibly the tapered spacer that sits on the fender. The antenna works fine if only I could repair my memory so I could tell you exactly what I did. Haven't had any one break the antenna since. When the radio is off the antenna hides from the kids and the garage door.

I had the new pieces chromed to look stock.

haven't done it personally, but agree, seen it done fairly easily..

I got it done with a punch and a hammer to unscrew that little nut thing. Pretty easy, just take your time so you don't gouge up your paint. Hardest part is getting the wire through the kick panel.

After 5 years, that Tom's antenna is still shiny on the base, but the mast is a bit faded.

Here's one that's made for our antenna bases; https://www.ebay.com/itm/MAC-TOOLS-...177248&hash=item5b81ca10b3:g:azsAAOSwQ6Zfsr4a. I did it by going to a used tool store with the old nut and tried a bunch out till I found one that worked. The Mac-Tools version looks better. I didn't want to risk chipping the chromed pot metal.
