Not coming off 
I have the TF-4,on it you just unscrew the antenna and it pulls out the top. I would suppose it is possible to strip the retaining bracket inside the transmitter and in that case you would have to spit the radio open.

You'll have to open the radio. You are probably spinning the nut on the end of the antenna shaft, so it won't release. It's not a big deal, just be careful not to overextend the wires when you open it.
