It took me forever before I learned about this. Spray some windex down the antenna tube then it'll just slide in about 99% of the way then you just have to take about a week and a half to get the last cm in. lol It takes me forever.

man, you can just spit in the antenna tube, or rub your finger somewhere on your truck where oil has collected and then run your oily fingers up the antenna wire. in my experience, once you crinkle the wire, just pull the 90 degree made with your fingers. this will make the wire a little curly, but it takes the kinks out.

suck a piece of sewing thread through the tube and then tie it to the antenna wire and pull. It worked for me.

its the easiest thing. Use baby powder or flower on the wire then stick it thru. Or you can just spray WD40 like other ppl said.

Put fishing wire through, tie it to the wire and pull back through. Works for me and takes about 2 min.

when i got my savage it took me the hole Freaking day, i was so happy that i got the savage and i couldnt run it that day[:@]i was so [:'(] that i was going crazy.



i think that a person that can put the stock wire throught the antenna in less than 5 minutes its a pro

When I first got my car I thought they gave me the wrong tube with it because it was so hard. I kept putting it in as far as it would go and then take it out flip the tube and put it in that end. I just kept doing that until eventually the wire came out the other end. Now its a breeze.
