Replacing receiver granite - what do you do with the antenna?

[simonisaacx]

Hi, I am replacing the receiver on my granite, for a better radio. I’ve taken the covers off but I’m unsure what happens with the antenna. On the existing one the grey wire goes into a plastic tube / mast as per the photo . So do I just pull the wire out? Or does the tube come off? Don’t want to force anything till I know for sure, a you tube video I’ve found doesn’t have the attached. I’ve not bought the replacement yet so not sure of it will be more obvious then but want to make sure I know what I’m doing before ordering the new one, can anyone help?

Loosen the hex next to the tube, then pull it up. You can run the new antenna in and put the tube back on later

This! As @Pat_ranch said you'll want to loosen the small grub screw that keeps the antenna tube in place, pull the tube up and antenna will come out. Carefully pull reciever up from bottom of box as it should be taped down with double sided tape. Put new reciever in box using double sided tape and feed your new antenna wire into the tube, push tube down in place tighten grub screw and your good to go.
