How To Remove The Door Lock Assembly To Change Actuator

[baghloli]

Hello All,

I wish to replace the door actuator motor since I am having problem with the door lock not functioning sometimes. I was suggested that the DC motor is weak and need replacement. I followed the steps listed in this link.

http://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/237827-door-lock-actuator-replacement.html

However, I couldnt find the actuator (the one in the first picture with OKO1 written on it) on the door after the door panel remove. It appears to me that it is attached with the door lock assembly and hidden somewhere under the metal sheet on the inside the door. I am wondering if I need to remove the door lock assembly (and unhook the actuator from it), or it is placed somewhere else(see this picture, http://forum.ih8mud.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=257291&d=1220472783). How do I go about removing the door lock assembly.

Please see the picture on this link.

Thanks
