We did this several times and it didn't help. Previously I have replaced the mast on a '93 Camry and a '91 Celica. It would have been simple if the plastic cable had not been broken in both. Just like you said, Remove the cap, turn on the radio and out it comes. The Camry and Celica run the motor until the antenna stalls because it can not go any farther, I don't know if it senses the stall, or it just times out and shuts off power to the motor. On another web site (Sorry I can't remember which one) I found some instructions that said Lexus radios manage the height of the antenna. It puts it higher for AM or FM and lower for the other. Then it said the procedure for removing the antenna was: 1) Turn the key off 2) Remove the nut 3) Press the AM and the DISC buttons (and hold them) 4) Turn the key to ACC 5) The radio display will say ANT 6) The antenna motor will run an extra long time to eject the antenna 7) Release the AM and DISC buttons 8) Leave the key on ACC 9) Compare the length of the plastic gear/cable 10) If they are the same, thread the new plastic gear/cable into the hole with the gear facing to the rear. 11) Turn the key off. The antenna motor will run an extra long time to pull the antenna all the way in. 12) Replace the nut 13) If the length of the old and new cables is different, you must disassemble the motor to get the broken piece out. I have tried this procedure and every part of it happens, up to step #6 when the antenna does not eject. The radio display does indeed display "AnT" just like step #5. Thanks again. Ken
