A quick question...

Last night someone stole my Shorty Antennae off my car. Whoever took it had a hard time twisting it off and instead snapped it. The "screw" part of the antennae is stuck inside. Is there any way to get this out?

Thanks in advanced.

Richard

Can you drill a hole in it and get it out like that? Or what about about with pliers? Is there anywhere on it that you can get ahold of it?

That can be tough If you can drill a small hole in there you can use a screw extractor and it will come right out. The hard part is drilling the hole.

THis is true. Very true. Just take your time when you drill the hole. And before you start, I would cover the entire area around the antenna with that blue painters tape just to prevent any scrathes from the shavings. Goodluck

Mebe try getting a little pick and try pushing against it at an angle to turn it. Even try tapping the pick with a hammer to turn it. If this doesnt work then yes like everyone else said a pick!

How about using a dremel to cut a shallow slot into the top of it and then using a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew it?
