From what I have researched, this will only work on the D1, and not the D2.

 

Steve, I have 4 inop actuators on a recent 99 D2 Acquisition,.....any chance you could give us a bit of direction on this,.....where are the two motors located and what was involved in switching the brushes??

If you reread thread and his older one on same subject...the superlock motor was was used in normal position. No brush change, motor swap.
......

 

Ive read both. He swapped the brushes,......however, that said,.......reading closer, sounds like he swapped the end cap of the motors that contain the brushes,.....

I didn't find a thread that BackInA88 started on door lock actuators. Looked for about 20 minutes,.....can you point me to it please,

 

It's been years since I did it.
You can't just swap the motors the worm gears that drive the mechanism are different sizes.
I seem to remember just breaking all the tabs on the white plastic cover as they are going to break anyway anyway, to get to the screws to take the actuator apart.
I think I ground the end of the center rivet off, I think you have to remove it to take the white cover off. I believe I replaced it with a flat head machine screw and jam nut and cut the screw flush with the jam nut and peened the end so it wouldn't come apart, test it before you do this?
You have to remove the motors and bend up the 2 little tabs carefully to remove the brush ends.
Than you need to hold the brushes back when putting them on the motor, I think I used pins out of my wife's sewing kit, there are little holes in the plastic end for this. Don't tell her. Than push the tabs back down and remove the pins.
I but a drop of machine oil on the bronze bearings.
Take out your cell phone and take pictures as you go so you can put it back together as I recall I had to remove some of the gears, levers and springs to remove the motors?
The motor has to be plugged in correctly to make contact with the connections in the housing.
And you have to file down a nub or file in a notch on the super lock plastic brush housing to fit it in the regular motor position?

I want to say the motor with the bigger worm gear was the super lock motor but I'm not sure?

 

Here's the old thread were I talked about this.

I remembered while reading this that the center pin isn't a rivet it's a pin with a push clip on one end that breaks when trying to remove it.
Read the link for the Mini Cooper actuator I think it's the same as ours.

 

Thanks. Correct.

I'm generally pretty good with this sort of thing,...but I will say that I invested the better part of a day screwing with this,....and never could get it to a point where I had access to the electric motors. Gave up and put it all back in the truck,....still broken.

 

Yeah it's a pain in the A$$!
