Re: specialized tool, part number? antenna mast removal tool

No. Your method will damage the part, mine will not, unless you are
ham-fisted with the pliars.

This was a serious answer to your request for help. I have done it this way
when the needle-nose pliars didn't work, and the chrome ring was not
damaged.

Thank you very much for your very useful constructive comment.
