Actuator replacement - door latch rod release?
#1
![Default](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I'm hoping someone can help... I'm replacing both driver and passenger window regulators and door actuators. Regulators are done (thanks to RAVE and the write-ups here). I'm on the verge of having the first actuator out but am stuck on how to release the door latch rod from the actuator. It looks like lots of flimsy plastic and I'm afraid to push/pull too much...
I'm attaching a (crappy) pic of where the rod attaches to the actuator; can someone explain in more words than RAVE how to release this thing?
Thank you!!!!

Did front actuators last week, and I'm doing both rear actuators tomorrow, and peeking in today, looks like there is no way to do it without removing window frame. Fronts: ok to just loosen frame. Rear: no way. Cruise control switch too.... I just bought this rig and it is solid as a rock. Just the $3,000 periferals like tires, bumpers, fog lites, wheel bearings and brake pads etc....
I will have plenty of tips eventually. I have already saved $3,000 in labor charges. Will keep new members like me posted.
