Has anyone replace the roof aerial on their 968?
I've a problem with AM reception, and apparently this is typically due to a failed amplifier located in the aerial base. I've done some tests and there is power going to the aerial (it's a common fault that the power has not been reconnected after work has been carried out) so power is not the problem.
I've taken the internal panel behind the sunroof off and gained access to the aerial, but it's on a nut that's recessed in a narrow well and which screws onto a hollow shaft through which the coax and the power cable run.
So, my specific questions are:
1. What tools/techniques have people used to get this nut off?
2. How are the cables attached to the aerial? I'm concerned that if I get the nut off, and try and pull the aerial off, I'll still be unable to draw the aerial away from the roof as there is no slack in these cables (they run taut back into the headlining), and I don't want to end up with damaged connectors.
Hope this makes sense.
Any experience of this would be helpful.
