If you're trying to swap out a broken factory antenna, go to the dealer to buy the replacement mast. Someone there (either the parts guy or a mechanic) will be able to give you the Secret Clue as to how to get the old one out and the new one in - probably a spring clip or a nut screwed to the threaded end of the mast that keeps it from sliding out.

There are some designs that are not repairable and require the whole antenna to be swapped out as a complete unit, and I don't know if yours is one of them. But the parts counter man should know.
