I recently bought a 94 F150 XL 4.9L, but someone had removed the antenna mast and broke part of the base. I bought a replacement but I have to figure out how to remove the factory antenna(base and cable). Any suggestions or tips that y'all can give me? Thanks.

Pull the inner fender well out for access.

If I remember right from the last time I had the front clip off of my 93, the antenna base is located under the front cowl which is that part full of holes between the windshield and hood.

The base should have a chrome cover that pops off and 2 screws under that that hold it on to the windshield cowl. Take that off and you can just unplug the antenna cable from the base.

Agreed with Chris_1, just snap off the chrome piece, undo the 4 screws holding the antenna base and unplug the wire

How hard should i have to pull? Guessing the rubber around the cable is a seal piece that pulls out of the aluminum casting?

My cowl was totally packed!! crazy, as it was sitting out under oak and pine trees ~18 years, 1984 F-250 6.9 diesel for $1000.I think rodents got in through the duckbills somehow, both inner fender wells are all torn up too.
