Power Lock Actuator Replacement
1997 Ford F-150 - My driver's side door actuator needs replacement. One day, when I pressed lock or unlock, it would just make a grinding sound, like shifting without the clutch type noise, so I took the door panel off and just disconnected the plug from the actuator and I am now manually pressing down the lock to lock it and uisng my key to unlock the door. I stared at the door for about an hour, stuck my hands wherever I could and I have no idea how I can get the actuator out and a new one in. It seems there is a rivet holding it in or something. It may be above my league in car work... Should I bite the bullet and just bring it to a shop? If yes, does anyone have a ballpark cost? Thanks in advance for any advice/opinions.

Here's how to do it in a 1996 truck. They say you have to drill out the rivet.
