My power antenna decided to crap out the other day, lots of noise but no movement. I remember doing this once on an old 240 DL I once had and it seemed pretty easy. Do I just loosen that nut on top of the rear fender and then pull out what is left of the plastic gearing? Also wondered if there is a way to check inside the antenna motor for broken pieces of the plastic gear teeth?

The fender nut is the only thing holding the antenna down, besides a cranky stainless steel sleeve. Just check the end of the plastic toothed strip to make sure it is all out. They seldom break apart. And remember which way the teeth are pointing when you pull it out! The new one goes down in the same direction.

I have had the motor out and completely disassembled. There are a few hard fitting pieces inside the round part, but re-greasing helped get rid of the noise I was having.
