My power Antenna cracked plz help

[RightWingZionist]

I went to the car wash and had the radio on mute and forgot to turn on the cd player so the antenna goes down. I bought this: http://antennamastsrus.com/Pictures/...9152SM4A03.jpg

For 20 bux with shipping from: http://antennamastsrus.com/Honda/Acc...01994-1995.htm
I have a 95 accord EX v6.
I was able to unscrew the main cap and remove the antenna.
My problem is I cant remove that last part. I tried to pull it as hard as I can with a plier but it wont get out. It does still spin in place.
The part is the first part with the rubber tube. Is there a way I can get that damn part out so I can replace the Antenna?
Thank You.

It will come out. You just need to work on it. Might try some WD40 and let it soak.

Neat site for replacement masts.

Yip, actually did a search on ebay. Gatta love ebay. Found their site and saved 20 cents lol compared to ebay. My mommy told me to take like a flat head and bang in it untill it gets bent in a form until u can just pull it out. But i'm afraid to bend the main steel tube.

I kinda fixed the pos. Took the whole power unit out, unscrewed the tube and poped in that piece and took it out the other side. It was a pain in the arse putting the new antnenna also as I couldnt put it in from the outside in again. I also can't pull it out completely because the rubber piece doesn't want to come out. Whatever, screw honda atleast I got it working again.
