Can someone confirm that this is the transfer case center lock actuator motor please? This is on my 1994 cruiser

No. The arrow is what you circled and that is not the center diff lock actuator.
It is circled in red and it is on top of the transfer case.

Wait, it’s held in by philips-head screws?
The motor is yes, the whole actuator assembly is bolted in with 10mm bolts

As @mudgudgeon wrote. 3 4 10mm bolts, can be seen in the attached photo.
The 3 JIS screws are for the cover.

If you want to remove the actuator lock it if possible.
You will find it easier if you remove the cross member, this will give you some much needed room to get your hands up there. You must support transmission and only drop it enough to gain access.

Poor picture but that looks to be the rear of the transfer case and what is shown is the cover where a PTO is attached. A PTO is only available in foreign markets. The wiring connectors in the picture is in the rear extension housing.
The CDL actuator is located on the top front close to the front driveshaft.

Yes, it has one electrical connector for the actuator, the second connector is for the CDL Sensor that drives the CDL dash light.
FYI - If your actuator is shot you can use one from a 100 series and get the wiring adaptor for plug n play. Cruiser Teq.

Top view of the transfer case.
Thread jack here: I am regearing my transfer case and I left the CDL unlocked when I pulled the T case and removed the CDL motor. The little gear under the CDL motor which resides in the top of the T case moves about 90 degrees left and right by hand. I didn't record what position it was in when I removed it. How should I reinstall that gear - so that it has slack to turn clockwise or counterclockwise 90 degrees? Also, in OTRAMM's video he's shown using a pick to manipulate something under the CDL lock motor before he reinstalls it - but he doesn't explain what he's doing there.
Basically - what do I need to do before I reinstall the CDL motor assembly to the top of my T case after regearing?
Thanks.

IMO removing the CDL actuator in either position makes no difference. The only thing you're concerned with is that both the internal mechanism and the motor assembly are in sync.
If the motor has not been run or disassembled since removal, then simply unlock the diff by rotating the gear in the transfer case by hand. When it's unlocked you should be able to rotate the front and rear drive flanges independently with some effort as there is a VC in there. If it's locked then you will not be able to do this. Giving a little jiggle to the drive flanges will allow you to move the gear into the fully unlocked or locked position.
The motor can be run with a 9V battery on pins 2 and 3 of the connector.
Great. Thanks so much. That's very helpful.
Can anyone help identify part numbers for the four bolts attaching the CDL to the transfer case?
Three are short and one is longer, so maybe they're just two part numbers?

Thanks! Not sure why the Partsouq diagrams don't show those. Where are you looking?
