    If it's the solid mast type pop off the top cover and there are sheet metal screws that hold the base to the fender, at least that's how my 70 was.

    Then you'll need to make sure it's disconnected from the radio and pull the grommet out of the right hinge pillar where the cable goes through. You can then pull the whole cable out from the hinge pillar and then through the hole in the fender.(y)

    The cable comes off from the antenna base, but it gets rusted and won't come off too easy. I used wd40 and a set of pliers. The first one I tried to get at the junkyard I pulled the wires out of the antenna bottom and messed it up.
