Antenna base repair help needed

I can't seem to find instructions on how the base for the antenna comes off. The antenna bolt broke off inside the base and now I have a new base to put on. Wondering how it comes off. Do I have to go it from the back through the wheel well? Bolt to unscrew it? Any direction would be appreciated.

Never mind. Just figured it out as I went along. Wasn't so hard.

Could you shed some light on how you did it?

Thanks for your reply.

What all do I have to remove to get to it?

I found this after I posted this question.

Do I have to remove as much of the interior as that post suggests?

Do I have to remove the amplifier to get the base off?

I just peeled the liner down a little, the plastic cover by the tail light does have to come out but it is easy.

Na, I didn't remove any.

Nope, kind of hard to find the torx screw. I used a mirror.
