I can't get my antenna off!
 
Am i missing something? For the life of me, this thing does not screw off! How did you get yours off?

Guess you don't have that "magic touch"!

Is it just not turning at all, or are your fingers just not getting a good grip?

Hey Teech
I just checked mine and mine comes off easy by turning, You might not be getting a good grip or even have the Magic touch as JX3 said but it does come off by turning counter clockwise.

Good Luck

i ve tried everthing...that thing wont budge! Everthing I've tried to grab it with slips...this is kinda funny

better not try replacing my valve cover

teech try a pair of plyers with some type of rubber (not a condom) material between the jaws and the antenna (so as not to damage it)

Mine was a little tough to get off too. If you're trying to do it from the ground, you might want to get a step ladder or something so you can get more even with it and possibly a better grip. Mine was on there pretty snug. Ideas above should work. ;)

ive gotten it to move, counterclockwise but its not unscrewing...like some kinda "jacket" is slipping around the screw

this was supposed to be an easy 20 min mod!

Okay Teech if you think what you did was funny try this and don't laugh.
Take your mouse pad and try turning your Strong as Steel Antenna with the rubber side of the mouse pad hoping to get a good grip.

laptops and optical mouse= no mousepad

the saga continues!

Ah, the "Tip of the Day"....

If azz don't work, use the mouse pad!! :thumb:

Seriously.... good idea!! :one:
