Well here it goes, i get outta work after a ****ty day and i go to unlock my truck and i notice my billet antenna is gone so i go "oh great just what i need" but i walk around the truck to look at the hole and i notice the antenna on the ground thinking someone just unscrewed it but low and behold some ####er broke the damn thing off and now the screw is still in the mount just broken in there so im unable to put in a new antenna and unable to unscrew it out also!

So my question is how the hell do i get it out? im sure there is away to take off the mount on the side of the truck but do i need a special tool for this job? thanks for the help.

ps: if you need pictures to get what im saying i'll post some.
 






i would suggest getting a new antenna mount and antenna, you might get away with using some picks to get the rest of those threads outta there, but it might save time just replacing the whole base and attenna. a junk yard should have it for cheap
