Re: Problem removing antenna mast Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Sun, 3 Nov 2013 09:13:16 In Reply to: Problem removing antenna mast, BobN, Sun, 3 Nov 2013 07:42:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
After the nut is removed at the base of antenna mast, the mast should slide out but many times grime and corrosion have seized the thick antenna tube to the motor unit and it can be quite a challenge to pull it up.
Sometimes I have to use a slide hammer with a clamp that I can compress around the old mast stump sticking out and carefully knock/pull the remains out but in a few bad cases, I have to take the whole motor out and disassemble and maybe find a good used aluminum tube because the mast has corroded so badly.
