before you buy a new antenna!
at the base of yur old antenna there should be 2 flat sides to remove it. undo this nut and th whole antenna should come off. there will be a plastic geared cable emenating from inside the antenna this is normal. spray the antenna with some penetrating lube like liquid wrench my favourite! and wait. later put some muscle into it and extend the antenna. if it extends use lots of solvent to clean the antenna you will find a lot of black dusty stuff on it. be careful not to bend it. if it does bent you can still use it but it wont go up and down or you can buy a new antenna(YOU WERE GOING TO ANY WAY). to put it back simply colapse the antenna and feed the geared cable into the general area where it came from It will take a hold by its self(put the antenna switch in the doun position if you have one). keep trying till it works.
good luck.
