Hello, just finished with your transmission service video and was quite impressed.
Our little truck has several issues, but the one I would like to tackle first is the trap antenna.
I haven't seen anything on getting to the mount, as our antenna has snapped below the top of the mount.
This stemmed from my other half laying it over on its side last winter on ice.
How would your suggest I begin this project?
Thank you

To remove the broken antenna, you need to remove the inner fender. Then, you can access the inside of the mount. Once you get that removed, it is a matter of removing the old one and replacing it. The antenna wire will route into the vehicle and plug into the rear of the stereo.
