Takes about 45 minutes per actuator. Here are some step by step photos that someone had sent me.

Welcome to FTE harleylife. I joined a couple of years ago to learn about how to fix my truck. It's been the best investment of time ever.

just throwing it out there, if you dont want to buy a new actuator do a search on here for the tin foil mod inside the actuator. First thing i did on my truck, was a pain in the *** for the first one, then easier on the second one...basically removes a resistor. they work great now

I need to re-lube mine. Coming up on three years since I did it. While I'm in there, I need to fix my rear-passenger door lock actuator.

Bumpin this thread for two reasons.

1. I just lubbed mine and the only thing that makes me angry about it is the fact that it took all of 30min. to do and i have procrastinated on it for about 3 months now.

2. If you need extra help removing the door panel or if you need to actually replace the motor check out my thread.

And I am replying, Nolan, that since I did that job way back when, I have not had to repeat the procedure once.
All four windows are still operating perfectly.
