I bought a new mast from ebay for $14.95 + $5 S&H. Ebay ID: bridgewood_motorsports
The cable and mast come as one unit.
There are two pieces you need to removed on my '94 SHO. If your trying to get the chrome ring with the four indentations on it, I would recommend CAREFULLY taking a flat head screw driver to one of the tabs. Angle the screwdriver so if you slip you will slip away from the car. I put a T-shirt on the fender around the mast just in case I F'd up. Lightly tap the screwdriver with a hammer and the ring should start to work loose. Then you can take it off by hand.
Take a 14mm deep socket and slide it down the mast to remove the nut that is holding the mast in place. If you can't get it loose, shoot it with some PB Blaseter and let is sit. Once you have done that get someone to put the mast up inside the car while you hold on mast. The motor will push the greasy wound mast cable out too.
When you have both masts out, compare length of the mast cables. They are likely to be different lengths because a section of you mast cable is still stuck inside the motor. You should get that out.
You will have to take some of the 4 screws and 2 clips out from the inner fender to get to the motor. There is one small nut holding motor to the fender where the A pillar is. Take that out. When you have to put it back in, I recommend sticking some rope caulk or chewing gum in the socket to hold the bolt in place for easy starting. You have to remove two wire harnesses and pull the antenna cable out from the mast assembly.
Take the nut off, open the motor and take the C-clip off. Pull the plasitic ring off and your remaining section of mast cable should be inside. Put is all back together in the reverse order. You may want to add some more grease. I used di-electric grease.
The mast cable teeth should point ot the front of the car. Feed it in when someone activates the antenna down switch. Tighten up the 14mm. nut and put the mast up and down a couple times and it should sit right. Then tighten up the chrome ring.
