If it is the ball bearing I think it is, believe it just inserts in the upper housing or bearing area hole and sits at the end of the shaft. It takes the thrust of the armature and worm.

If you find something that works on the drive cable let us know. I and others have been looking for a substitute without much success. Some antennas use an ordinary round nylon and others have the sort of a flattened rectangle with tapered sides. Finding the rectangular shape at retail seems impossible and while there are lots of round rods, they are not very flexible.
