I'm trying to replace my door lock actuators on my 98, and I have no idea how to get the locks out. Has anybody done this before? I am stopping the project for now, because I don't want to break anything.

not sure if thats helpful or not

 

Thanks for the help, but that doesn't really cover the door lock actuator, only the handle

This is what the Ford Service manual says,

"Position window to full up position. Remove door trim panel and peel back watershield. Drill out rivet(s)
securing actuator assembly. Disconnect control rod. Disconnect electrical connector. Remove actuator
assembly. To install, reverse removal procedure. Secure actuator assembly with NEW rivet(s). Replace old
actuator bracket with new bracket supplied with replacement actuator."
