DON'T TAKE OUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER way too much work.. what i did after my antenna got bent was to unplug the wire from the radio, then tie a string around the end of the wire, and then i took the old antenna out hos it says in the bentley but without removing the instrument cluster... you will however need to remove the instrument cluster cover for easier access to the string. after i pulled the antenna out, with the string, i tied the new antenna's wire to the string and pulled it back through, no need to do anything fancy. thats how i installed a new antenna, hope this helps.
