I have been all over trying to find the correct tool used to thighten down the antena nut and have had no success to date. Does anyone know where to get one, I've tried using two screw drivers to turn it but with no luck and a small scratch on the paint I'll fix that when I build my shop. I found a first gen one at classicindustries but no 3rd gen one.

 

Do you mean the antenna or the base? If your talking about the base, there is a tool that you can get(sorry, don't remember where). It basically resembles a line wrench with raised bars on it. They will fit in the slots and tighten it down. Try asking a body shop about it. That's how I found the one I've got floating around someplace.

Good luck

 

Those speciality tools can be bought from a snap on dealer or any other tool truck that visits the body shops and garages. I use needle nose pliers to tighten mine. just be careful not to slip with it.

 

Thanks alot CraZ-28, and BOTTLEDZr28 I really appericate the info.

 

No problem glad I could help. If you go to snapon.com and type in antenna nut socket in, you will ee what the proper tool fo rthe job is it is $20. I attached a pic(hopefully it works) of what the universal tool looks like

 

theres a tool for everything!!

 

Not always a good thing

"Hey, let's make a special tool for taking off each separate part of the car.. ! It'll stop people from stealing the car, and we'll get millions of dollars!"

 

Better than improvising with a couple of screwdrivers and scratching the H E L L outta the paint

 

LOL, you got that right. It was simple to take it off with the screw driver but when I tired to put it back on that way it didnt do to well, but at least its only a small scratch that can be fixed in 5 minutes. I'm gonna buy the tool from snapon when they are in town I cant wait.
