Access the retainer nut by removing the front grill...
remove the cable plug from the rear of the radio (remove ash tray for
access... to remove radio... notice four holes in radio face plate, one at
each corner... get tool to remove at FLAPS or audio radio dept of shop that
sells them or make your own tool by bending two 8" pieces of coat hanger
into 2 U shapes, insert tools and work left and right until radio face plate
releases)... but before pulling it out attach a strong string or wire to the
cable.... pull the cable out with the string trailing along...
pull cable of new antenna into place with the string.. (may need to remove
the instrument cluster cover to get access to help guide through the maze of
wires and stuff behind the dash...
