Yes ,you have to remove the entire latch.
prior to that ,you must remove the interior door handle to get at some retaining clips that hold the cable conduit.

I hope this helps

Just as a possibility to consider... I have replaced acturators on both my 92 F-150 and on a 74 Cadillac. On both these vehicles I had previously had alarms installed, so when I started having problems with the actuators, I went back to the alarm dealer and had him put in after-market actuators that were a lot cheaper than the factory units and work as well if not better.

How did you all get the door panels off?
I have seen no screws or other fasteners.

I had to replace all of mine on my 2000 crewcab it was easier than I thought. I bought some on ebay they were new and are the same ones the alarm people use. I paid $3.00 each plus shipping they come with instructions and all the hardware. I just had to drill 2 small holes to attach the actuator and mounted them inline with the old ones and just spliced in the wires. Works perfect and does not take to long to do. Hope this helps. Al
