I think it’s held in from the top. The top nut (black) screws on to a thread coming up through the wing from the base & it is this that retains it.

I have unscrewed the top section of the aerial,but its the base I would like to remove .This saves masking it and spraying round the base .I can see a small nut underneath the base,but its quite dufficult to get to with the car jacked up and it seems an odd size of nut

As a first try I’d remove the top nut & then screw the aerial back into the base & give it a good wiggle bordering on thrutch, it should come free. It’ll have had some goo around the thread to waterproof it & that in, all probability will have transmogrified into Ugg. Ugg doesn’t let go without a bit of a fight.
If that fails hit it (no don’t do that!)

Just had a very close look at the nut and you can just about see two flats on it I dont know if its been painted over I thought it wa round .Yet again the advantage of a forum Ive flatted it and can spray it correctly save masking it all up .
