brillomaster Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 So i've done the right thing and finally purchased a RDX aerial from Steve, go to remove the old cheap stubby that *someone* >ahem< had put on previously, but due to its cheap ill fitting nature, water has got into the thread and rusted it on. fair enough, pliers come out to get some decent purchase, but surprise surprise, the poor quality thread sheared, leaving me with most of the screw still firmly screwed into the base I'm guessing theres no easy way to remove a snapped, rusted aerial thread? i'm thinking that i'll need a replacement aerial base, then route around under the boot trim plastic to get the old one off and the new one in... anyone breaking a zed who might have an aerial base kicking around?
