Hello, Search ebay for "door lock actuators" there are many listed thy are aftermarket ones that stereo places use when you purchase alarms and stuff.
i did this to mine several years ago and the still work great and the best thing is they are only $3 to $5 dollars.
You leave your old actuator in and hooked up as factory you can run the new ones inline i only drilled one hole to mount the new actuator I found out which orginal wire is for up and which is for down and spliced the new one into those wires then hooked up the rod with the coupling provided. So when you go to unlock or lock your are still using the orginal with the help of the new one. I have done this to about 10 or more doors and they work like new and it is CHEAP compared to buying factory. it is had to explain how exactly to do it but if you take a little time on the first one you will see how easy it is. You can get all four for less than 420 bucks depending on shipping plus a little time.
Hope this helps
Good luck AL

 

Thanks sbfd8. Your idea seems easier then taking it apart etc.seems more straight forward.

 

It really is easy after the first one and they work great.
Good luck
