[Shotimes] antenna wrench

[Paul L Fisher]

I agree. It took 30 minutes total from beginning to end including pulling
the fender liner.

Joe,  The special tool you need is a 14mm thin walled deep socket.  Refer
to http://tinyurl.com/msf5 for more details.  If the reason you are
replacing the antenna is because the plastic strip with teeth  broke in
the original, then the MOST IMPORTANT step is to open up the motor (no
flames please) assembly to extract the broken cable.  This is a relatively
simple procedure.  Just remove the wheel wheel plastic liner pins and
screws that will uncover enough from the area behind the tire right below
where the antenna goes into the body.  You will be able to see the motor
assembly.  The SHOTIMES instructions are useful here too.

If you don't remove the old cable you will have premature failure of the
new part.
