Steve, You have to take a torch and heat up/desolder the top copper tip then you can pull the antenna out of the fiberglass from the bottom. I took an old piece of cable with an N connector(or whatever connector is on the antenna) and used it to help mepull the antenna out. Also, those antennas don't need those ground raials. We have used them on some and not on others and it doesn't really seem to make any difference. So I personally wouldn't worry about them.
