It should just be threaded on to the mount. Maybe the previous owner used thread locker on it. Once you get the mast unscrewed, you'll need a spanner wrench (or open needle nose pliers) to unthread the mount from the fender.

You'll need to get a few additional bits, but yes, you could replace it with a manual antenna. You'll first need to remove the existing antenna motor assembly which will probably require you to remove the wheel well liner, unplug the motor assembly (motor control and antenna coax), unscrew the trim ring/retainer that is on top of the fender, unbolt the antenna motor assembly, then remove the whole thing. From there you'll need to buy the antenna mast assembly and hope that it has a connector for the antenna coax that's already there. If not, you'll need to route the antenna coax from the assembly to the back of the radio.
