Default Antenna help

My radio antenna broke off in the pod that on the fender of my truck. So only half the threads are left on the antenna itself and the other half are stuck inside the pod where the antenna screws into.

So i need some advice how to get the piece that broke off into the pod out so i put a new antenna in

You will most likely have too replace the antenna base on the fender. Just pop the piece of plastic off and there are 3 screws holding the base on. Take the screws out and the base unplugs from the coax. Go to a junkyard and get a new base and antenna of a similar truck. That is what I did only cost me 4 bucks and have new antenna.
