Replacing Door Lock Actuator - 02 Nissan Xterra

[skibizkit]

Quick question.

I am replacing the rear passenger door lock actuator and was hoping someone can give me some advice on how exactly to remove it. When I remove the door panel from the door, the actuator is secured tightly behind the door's steel frame and showing ever so slightly. How do I remove the original actuator and install the new one?

I've seen a few posts on here regarding the need to replace it but not specifically how to extract the old and in with the new... ?!?

Thanks in advance!
