Hi,

 

I cannot seem to post attachments here otherwise I could shoe you a photo of what I mean???? Why is this? It says I am not allowed!!

 

I took the aerial off to fit a new mast as the old one broke.

 

I managed to remove all the old mast and plastic tie rap like part that coils up inside but when I went to feed the new one down whilst turning the stereo off, it made this awful clunking noise and when I opened the motor up, the small cog that the main motor shaft turns could not sit back down on this shaft to reverse?? Why is this, does anyone know?:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

You're not making a lot of sense, but there are only about 4 moving parts inside the electric motor, the clunking noice was probabally the clutch.

 

It should be pretty obvious as to what needs to go where.

Sorry Tim, if I could get pics up here I could explain this loads easier.

 

If you take the cover off the motor you have a large round white wheel in the middle that retracts and uploads the aerial. At 11 o'clock to this cog is another smaller white cog which runs off the electrical motor (metal bell housing near the main shaft of the aerial). When I reverse the motor ie. turn the radio off, the cog jumps up and doesnt turn it just makes this awful racket as it tries to sit back down??

 

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was supposed to be something there to stop it from rising??

 

Or if anyone could take theirs to pieces and check!;)
