Not any more difficult that replacing a window regulator motor. Actually a little easier.

1 Rivet on the same side of the door as the latch. I used a 1/4" Cap screw and nut to replace the rivet on the new one. But some of the new ones come with a rivet.

The hardest part was getting the door open because the old actuator was jammed.
