ok i took the whole antenna out of the car put it on the bench.
ive read you are supposed to use the old antenna as a slide hammer to pull it out of the shaft.
i was able to do that. my problem is the little steel insert that holds the mast in is still inside of the shaft.
how the heck does that come out. there is a new one supplied with the replacement mast.
i have a few of these things, i ruined one by trying to dig it out.
please help.

    I used a lot of PB Blaster, penetrating oil, and let it soak. Sounds like you got a bit of salt corosion on yours.
    If you pulled the antenna out with the sleave still in, the sleave is toast.
