Remove aerial - GU1

[taslucas]

G'day, how does my aerial unscrew? I watched a vid and the aerial had a hex but to undo. Mine has these holes, not sure how hard to tap

.......from under the great down under.

Yeah mate get a couple of prongs in those holes and unscrew. Circlip pliers if you have them will do the trick.

Why do you want to remove it? You need to remove the inner guard to drop the aerial and motor out, and I'm pretty sure theres two bolts, or nuts, that you access from the LHS of the foot well. I replaced the antenna cord in mine a long time ago and had to do this. Then I was sick of it going up and down everytime I turned the ignition on so I just left it down and disconnected it and put a whip antenna on the bull bar.

Can you please show me a link to mr whippy?

I’m sick of having no radio, the aerial is a nightmare to replace and mines electric too.

It uses a tool like this (we call it "vampire" over here) but it is pretty easy to improvise.

My aerial is stuffed and I tried to remove it using circlips but it just wouldn't budge.

It also looks impossible to get to it under the panel so is that true you have to actually take off the panel?

That would be a nightmare with my set up with the snorkel, etc too.

Well in the GU im 99% there is two bolts via the LHS kick panel, then the entire motor and aerial drop out from behind the inner guard. I just left the aerial there and in the down position and just disconnected it.
