Winegard Coax Cable ??

An easier way to gain access to the union coax connector is to remove the Inside Crank up handle and rotating ring. Shine a flashlight up in that 1.5 inch hole and close to the metal shaft you should see the coax wiring. Use a clothes hanger as a hook and pull the coax down. The coax from the top antenna head may not have slack, but will if you remove the upper boot and any sealant. The FEED cable from the wall booster to that union usually has at least 12 inches of extra cable. Once you have it pulled down disconnect the TOP head cable and route the NEW cable from the top thru the top plate hole. Connect the 2 cables and push back up in the ceiling cavity. A LOT easier than attempting to route the cable and connect from the top. BTW, the union even tho inside the Ceiling cavity may have rust and corrosion. If so, replace the feed end from the booster. Trying to pull the old cable and union UP from the top thru that small access hole in the mount plate usually results in the cables pulling apart at the union INSIDE the ceiling cavity. Resulting in a lot more work. Doug
