Power Antenna replacement - How to

That could be a catch 22 though. You know whoever else works on it doesn't have to live with it, so if they're not as careful as you would be.... make sure you have a guy/gal mechanic you can trust.
I was going to make a similar comment. Nobody will care about your vehicle as much as you do. If you have the tools, the time, and the ability, you might consider doing it yourself. Your decision.
Both of my sources came through. The guy is still in business and his technique is still a secret.

I've not personally had to use him. I just knew of him and my two friends (brothers) who I checked with have used him for all kinds of service work. I'm told the GM power antennas are his "thing."
This guy is still in business specializes in this repair! Removed and rebuilt mine for $160! I have to buy the replacement kit which are 40-60 depending on much guts you want replaced and using the metal cable not a nylon which could still be a problem down the road. Thanks again for the help and totally recommend this guy! Definitely worth a trip if out of the way a bit. Has done he said close to a 1000 of these lol! I believe it too as do to his shop. Also has N.O.S stuff also for many GM cars!
Guys... this is a great write up, but I hit a snag. I am borrowing this picture from another member who posted it, but it didn't get any replies. I have a 1984 Hurst that the antenna is broken. I followed the steps listed in the write up. But how the heck do you get the screw out that holds the antenna in place? Other that this problem, I am set to go! Help please! Thank you!!
