Hi,
I have tried to research procedures specific to your vehicle, but haven't had much luck. Most commonly on Ford vehicles, the inner fender needs removed to access the mast. The wiring to the antenna is between the fender and enters through the door frame below the A pillar. As far as simple ways, to the best of my knowledge, there is only one way.
Can you tell me if this is a power antenna?
