I'm in the process of buying door lock actuators (and linkages?), so I can fit one to my driver's door and have remote locking. The seller can't seem to figure out how to remove them from the donor car (93 940 wagon).

According to the FAQ, "The 900 series uses a totally different lock motor system than the 700 series: the 900 motor is not "L" shaped and is directly connected to the lock and the knob. There is no linkage arm."

Presumably, the seller is having problems because the actuator is directly connected, hence not too accessible up near the lock and knob. Does anyone have detailed instructions for removing the actuators on 940s?

The FAQ describes using 700 series parts for a 900 series driver's door. Exactly what 900 series parts are best suited to refit a 900 series driver's door? Is it best to take parts from the rear door on the driver's side, or from the passenger side front door? Is there only an actuator involved, as the FAQ states, or are there linkage parts that are needed too?
