    You are right, but by that logic, the OP would be removing the truck from the antenna.:)

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    the best way to do this is take the keys, hand them over to someone else, and walk away to never return:D

    Someone has the right idea, put vice grips on the base of the antenna, and have someone do a 360 burnout while holding the vice grips. If it doesn't come off the one way, do the burn-out in the opposite direction.

    that's easy. just have a buddy grab the antenna then drive in circles around him. engine's got more torque that a crescent wrench can handle anyway....

    I got it out. It was actually the antenna that just comes right off. I thought it was the chrome piece. I was trying to remove the chrome piece thinking it would remove the antenna. How do you remove that chrome base? Because I kinda messed it up and want to replace it now. I feel like an idiot trying to remove the wrong part.
