1997 J30 power antenna mast installation -- where to begin?

Howdy

I'm trying to fix my power antenna unit, the antenna of which was chopped off by the previous owner. Ive got the new mast and removed the trunk's cloth panels which blocked way to the power antenna motor. But I dont know where to go from here.

How do I remove the motor? There's a metal bar attached to the jack that won't come undone, and I can't get to the motor screws.

Can anyone offer more detail on getting the power antenna motor out?

Thanks

All right. I've got the $%^&* complete power antenna out of '96 Maxima SE because I could not just remove the mast. Now I cannot even remove the mast when I'am holding the %^&*$# thing. Short of buying the complete power unit w/mast, what is the seceret?:banghead:
