I'll try to describe what I have tried until now. Advise needed!
First I remove the plastic cover on around the middle of the antenna. 3 torx screws appears.
I took out the 3 screws and finds out that I can only move what is left of my antenna a little from side to side.
Around the antenna is a nut size 13/16" or 7/8". I tried to unscrew it but it fells flexi to a certain point where I can screw it further (a half round).
I take of my tire and the plastic fender inside, to see if there is anything I have to do from the inside. A thin metal pole is mounted to the antenna and is around 15 inches long and mounted to the chassis as well.
This pole is what makes it feel flexi, so I takes out the bolts from the pole, and the whole part is now turning around, but I still can't remove the antenna since it is mounted around the plate, where the 3 torx screws is fastened.
WHAT DO I DO WRONG?
There is a small "pipe" comming up of the antenna about 1/4" long, but it is without thread either on the outside or the inside, so I don't see how I can screw an replacement antenna.
