To all,
Has anyone on the forum replaced the entire antenna assembly, and can you offer hints/tips to accomplish if your arms are too short and fingers too fat? Weather has deteriorated the base and mast and it's time to replace them.

See two methods: 1) Through the trunk after removing the left-side liner; 2) Going topless halfway when the cowl is fully raised before the top stows.

Additionally, is a special tool required to access the very tight and restricted inner fender area and loosen the mounting base nut? Thanks for any suggestions in advance.
R,
Boresite
