Ok follow this exactly.

1. Unbolt actuator from X case.
2. Take off the little ground wire, and the main harness.
3. The actuator is in your hand with the motor still attached.
4. Mark said white gear on the outside, extend the line to the metal plate
5. Mark one side of your gear with a plus, that way you will know you didn't put it back in the original position.
6. Take out the 4 screws that hold motor to the actuator.
7. Remove motor just like in the vid. Hold onto that harness connection, or you will be putting the brushes back in one at a time. It's not the end of the world, I took my motor apart just to see.
8. Once the motor is out, the white gear spins freely. You can now spin it till you are blue in the face.
9. Line up the marks, and assemble.

You are done.
