Don't use extra sleeve included in replacement....

These replacement masts include a little crome tube a few inches long that is not necessary for this installation. It's there to take up space for other installations, I assume. Just cast it aside and insert the new mast up through the bottom. You can't install if from the top and you must remove the assembly from the car to do the repair.
If you search the archives, you'll find a few good writeups on the procedure.
Note that since the cause of most mast replacements is that they cease retracting, that means the little toothed plastic "tail" has broken off somewhere inside there. You have to disassemble stuff and remove the broken remnant or the new mast won't fully retract. It's really quite simple, nothing to be intimidated by.
