Just the replacement mast should be all that's needed (if you can still hear the antenna motor run). I bought one off of Amazon, works fine.
Getting the old one out required a worrisome amount of force, but mine popped out without breaking the plastic "cable". Just unscrew the little bezel, have someone hit the antenna-up button, yank it out, slip bezel onto new mast, then feed the new one in and screw the bezel back on.

As long as the plastic gear didn't break off in the motor, just do like mentioned.... unscrew bezel, pull on antenna while someone hits the up button (make note which way the teeth face Front or back). Generally the same for installation.
Consider spending the extra coin on the OEM mast. Mine was likely an isolated incident, but the cheap mast I purchased off eBay lasted only 12 hours and failed in such an awesome way that I had to pull and disassemble the motor to remove the plastic geared cord which was stuck in the motor.
After that, I bought an OEM mast and it's been fine for 3+ years.

Just replaced the mast on my 01 with an OEM from AntennaMastsrus.com
Easy instructions, quality feeling replacement and it took about 10 minutes to install, and that included getting a beer.

My experience with their antenna was not good, lasted about a year. Definitely not Toyota/Lexus OEM.... maybe Yugo OEM.

Lol, thanks for the heads up. Heft wise its on par with what I replaced. Time will tell. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Damn parents. I guess you're stuck with them.
for the cost your better off going with a factory antenna. easy way to remove the antenna nut is just lightly tap it off with a screw driver and hammer
