I've jacked up the car, removed the panel, and the bolts and stuff, but i cant get it out, there seems to be a hexogon shaped nut at the top of the aerial, but i cant get that off. Someone help Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hmmm a hexagon nut you say... sounds like any standard nut if you ask me. Removal of this kind of nut is usually done with what is commonly know as a spanner. Make sure you match the size. Smart ass remarks asside, WD40 will help if its stuck.

Shuttup Lexen Boy, you Lexen Owners may need reminding about what a spanner does and how it works on a daily basis, but VLT owners dont I fixed it anyways, pulled the aerial up and gripped it with some long nose pilers and turned it and off it came. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

good to you hanging some **** for a change rob, more proactive and a less reactive as they say, i managed to fit a socket over it and then just grab socket with some vice grips, but that only if you dont have a deep socket PSiwagon says
