There are a couple of different types but both work by pulling or pushing a nylon strip attached to topmost section. One type is detailed with service instructions in the Aug 51, Vol 25 #8 SC available on the website. Essentially you separate the motor from drive mechanism so the worm gear is free and then manually pull the nylon strip thru pinch rollers. If yours has a long piece of curved tubing clamped to outside and connected to bottom of motor assy that is the one detailed. Other type is a shorter affair with a reel takeup and don't recall seeing details on that one to refer you to. You keep saying cables plural and you hook THEM up which bothers me since there should only be one wire out of the cable connected at a time and other battery lead going to antenna housing but at any rate good luck.

EDIT: just noticed your fender assy. The antenna you have is a slightly different version of the one mentioned above so the instructions should be able to help you.
