'59 core removal (+ antena motor question)

[Philippe Courant <accf-club@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Through the engine compartment. Process is described in the FSM and it 
seems easy (?): disconnect battery, heater hoses. Remove screws 
attaching heater housing to dash panel and remove housing and core as an 
assembly. Remove gasket to expose rivets (if used), remove heater core 
from housing. A note says that " core is held in position in the outer 
housing with plactic rivets; care should be used when pressing out these 
rivets"

About antena: my '57 antena motor became more and more lazy these later 
weeks. Today it stops to work (as you expected with antena 1/2 raised 
..). I'll remove it but does someone have already open the antena assy. 
? I haven't any schematics or pics of the motor and i don't know if it's 
a motor problem or anything else in the antena. I've noted that the 
motor seems right because when i want to come down the antena the 
amperemeter goes to "Discharge" and the interior lights dimms..  Seems 
that something is freezing in the assy !
