Do you have pics of the bolts and clips in question?
I don't have any pics on hand but if you go out and look at your truck it'll be pretty obvious. First remove the chrome ring right at the base of the mast with needle nose pliers wrapped with electrical tape or something similar so it doesn't mar the piece. Working in the front passenger wheel well I removed the entire wheel first to make more room (not sure if you could get away with just turning the wheels one way or not but this made it easier). Remove all the plastic clips holding the fender liner in, remove liner, and then look up in the fender with a flashlight and you'll see the motor and antenna assembly. I believe it was just one or two 12mm (maybe 10mm) bolts that hold the motor to the bracket and after removing those bolts the entire assembly should come out from the fender. Replace and then reassemble in reverse order.
