Replacement Antenna Base

[Sonicsunspot]

I bought my 2018 Raptor used, and it had a stubby antenna. It eventually broke off leaving a metal nub. I cannot seem to unscrew it, I think it’s rusted or fused to the base over time.

First, any suggestion to get the old antenna out ?

I am trying to find a replacement base before I try to drill it out and retap the current base. Anyone know the part number for the base? I can’t find it anywhere. Tasca doesn’t seem to list it.

#3 im guessing

i think id be trying to drill and retap it, rather than running a new antenna cable into the truck...

Thanks - I saw that one, the radio side looks fine but the antenna base looks different. Maybe that pic has a protective plug in it?!?

thats possible, not sure really.

put some penetrating oil in, and maybe try and easy out, but probably just easiest to drill and retap. these things always get bi-metal corrosion if they arent all greased up when they are put on the first time...
