2000 Expedition - Replace Rear Door Lock Actuator - Help Needed

Hello all. It's been a LOOOONG time since I last posted. I'm trying to replace the rear driver side door lock actuator on my 2000 Expedition. I've drilled out a rivet on the outside of the door to free the actuator from the door body. I have removed the latch mechanism (3 torx screws). I just cannot determine how to get the linkage off so that I may remove the actuator from inside the door. I see yellow things and a green thing...Any and all suggestions/information to help me accomplish this would be very much appreciated. Tips on putting the new one in would be great, too. I can then apply said knowledge to do the other rear door, too. Thanks in advance. Keith.

Thanks Alloro. Exactly what I needed. What size and kind of rivet should be used?

Depends on the size of the hole it's going into. You'll have to measure it or use nuts and flat head bolts.

Alloro do you have the workshop manual section for the rear hatch / liftgate lock actuator replacement? Please post it if you do.

I have 1997 Expedition.
