ok so i need a new antenna mast.. i just bought this one off installer.com
the one under nissan 95-99 maxima $24.95

is this the right one? and how in hell do i replace it.. i took the whole fixture out and couldnt get out the old broke part????!?!?!?! please help?

 

bump...................

 

theres a seller on ebay thats always selling them for 16 bucks shipped. i've taken out my old one. shouldnt be too hard. just make sure u turn the radio on and off so the motor can get the new antenna.

 

will this work on my car?

hmm...really?? i.................dont..............care

i couldnt find it before.. czu i am always on the run and dont have time to look for it... i tried to replace it but a piece o fthe old antenna got caught in the motor.. i cant get it out.. i dont know how it comes out

 

well the moderaters sure care, along with the people who donate money to have the bandwith filled up by threads like this.

 

so... does anyone know how to get out the old broken antenna from the motor?? haha

 

dont do the ebay one, it isnt a stock oem one, horrible fitment, and it still doesnt work properly. The fitment looks like s*** and it leaks. Don't buy it, bad investment

 

I bought mine from Ebay and it works perfectly.

 

Novo. It's not too hard. The motor assembly can be taken apart if you look at it carefully and take your time.
You'll have to take the assembly out to do it.

 

i did.. i took the whole assembly out and apart but there is a piece of the antenna that broke off inside the assembly. i cant get it to come out.. its like stuck.. is there something holding it in??

what one did you buy off of ebay? send me a link if you can find it

 

I got my replacement from Pep boys and that shxt broke like the 2nd wk i had it on.

 

as far as switching it out it was pretty simple just need the tool that screws the nut out, then pull the old one, then you guide the new one in turning the radio off to retract it in.

 

when you take the cover off the motor you'll see that the mast/sleeve is held in place by some little "teeth" near the base. Just keep twisting the mast and it should eventually come out.
I got the mast thru:

They send directions as well. I can send those as well if you want. PM me if you need to.

 

can someone tell me where i can get a whole motor/mast assembly cuz my buddy was workin on it with me and broke it totally.. hahaha

let me know boys!!!

 

Are you sure the motor is shot?

Check Ebay, or the Classifieds forum - lots of people parting out their cars.
