Default How do you get the F*****G lock actuator out???

I can get the rod from the actuator to the door lock out of the hole. Is there a washer or bolt or something on the back of the lock where the rod goes in? And how do you get the whole actuator off the door? I cant find a bolt or anything but its stuck on there somehow...how do you get this damn thing off???

Is it the on on the side of the door? Is it the bolt you can see the threads on but has no head on it?

yeah i had to basically pull every last rod out just to get the actuator out because with the rods connected to it didnt allow me enough slack to just unhook the actuator.
