i think the spring thing can be taken out hang on gonna pm you my phone #

 

Here's someone. The one with the spring is the wire that leads to the base of the antenna. The other is the one that leads to the radio

 

pmed you my phone number so u can txt pic to me its got to be faster

 

jesus no wonder that thing comes apart rip that spring off there it forces the two pieces apart

 

ok so after you remove that spring the new wire will simply go over top of the male piece

 

So I don't need it? Lol

 

Gotcha!

 

are we set now? it will all make sense when you get the new wire, and if you havent ordered it yet might wanna check radio shack for that wire unless its too much of a drive.
i would say that 95% of antenna wires dont have that spring it confuses me why its there seems counter productive to try and force two things apart that need to be tightly mated

 

Ya I think we're set. Imma check autozone to see if they have something like that and if not I'll order the one from that link
