Remove the special nut, spacer, and bushing on top of the fender (note the angle placement of the black spacer for the re-install). Turn the accessories on and the radio for the antenna mast to extend and the mast should withdraw quite easily unless the gears in the motor are jammed. To re-install the new mast, have the teeth on the drive mast cable face directly to the rear of the car, insert the cable down until there is resistance, and turn the radio off to allow the motor to pull the drive cable into the housing. Replace the nut (too tight can cause the mast to stick during the extension and retraction), spacer and bushing.
