Spray liberally with WD-40 or PB Blast or similar first. You may find some success from trying to wiggle the base/antenna from in the fender too, to break the 'seal' it has on the fender. The other option is make a special tool out of a piece of metal, just grind the two nipples into it and twist. But, you can beat the piss out of your car with a hammer, that would work and since it's not mine, I don't care how it looks. :) Our way is slightly less abusive to the paint, tho!!

This was a serious answer to your request for help. I have done it this way when the needle-nose pliars didn't work, and the chrome ring was not damaged. Thank you very much for your very useful constructive comment. Sam On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 6:04 PM, Blake Thompson <[email protected]> wrote: how about I just hit it with a hammer until it moves.
