Sorry to link to another forum, but if it helps a brother out:

Search around for a while because there really is a LOT of information on how to do this repair. Info and pictures from several sites will help make the job quite easy, but the links above are a pretty good start.
Two things to know. ther eis an EASY way to remove the actuator and it is necessary to mark the motor cap before disassembling it so that you don't finish the job with a part that runs in reverse. Simply use a permanent marker and make a stripe across one side of the motor case and plastic cap so they go back together with the same orientation they came apart.
The EASY way to remove the actuator (plastic cased motor assembly) is to use a very narrow putty knife and slip it into the slot that is on the side of the door lock mechanism. the slot is easy to miss as it is less than the width of a credit card. With this method there is no need to disconnect any linkage or remove the latch mechanism or disassemble ANYTHING inside the door except for unclipping the power supply.
