Antenna wrench

Where can I get an antenna wrench or what can I use for it? I have a 2010 Tacoma.

 

If its too tight to remove by hand, you can remove it with a crescent, a pair of pliers or appropriately sized open end wrench. When you reinstall it I would recommend just tightening by hand for easy removal if you need to go through a touch car wash or something... there's no need to torque it with a wrench. I've seen a few threads where users have reported the threads rusting and seizing in the antenna base, hopefully that isn't the case!

 

Mine is broken down inside

 

I'm hoping you mean the bezel/lock nut. This guy used a "watch tool" from walmart. You're probably stuck ordering it online if you want a legitimate one

I have this but it’s to big!

 

Thats a bummer. Do you have any piece of flat metal laying around that you can lay accross two of the slots to turn it? Metal ruler, hack saw blade, T-bevel, Washer, etc?

 

Why don’t you drill it out. Take a bit small than the broken antenna stud and then drill down about 1/4 “ os so. Then you can use an extractor to back it out. I couldn’t find my extractor set and actually used a small square drive bit that I wedged into the hole. Come out with hardly any effort.

 

This. The antenna isn't torqued down very hard so it should come out with an easy out just fine.

 

Sorry I feel silly, I thought you where simply asking how to remove the antenna... lol. At work I use these to drill out stuck or broken off screw shanks etc...

Should work just fine for the antenna shank too. I use a #30 drill bit with it for a snugger fit and sometimes tap it in with a hammer for extra bite... but this isn't necessary. Good luck.

 

Get a set of left hand drill bits from Harbor Freight, they're under 9 bucks. Start with the smallest one and and get a small hole started, then move up to the next size... should spin right out. A little PB Blaster never hurts either.

 

For whatever reason as I was backing out my piece that was sheared off, it stripped the threads. Does anyone know the component that contains the thread piece the antenna screws into or a solid suggestion for the entire assembly for me to install by chance? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

 

Found my antenna a little loose a few days ago. An open-end 8mm did the trick. Nothing special.
