FYI...you can remove the brass collar and use a dremel tool to shave the shaft down. Worked great for me.
This sucks... After struggling to get everything out of the door, then snapping one of the tabs on the actuator trying to separate it, I then get it open to find out I have the flat shaft motor, NOT the one with the brass fitting like I ordered...
I hate leaving projects unfinished!!
Can anyone help answer my question related to removing the lock actuator.
The question I posted is at link:
How to remove the lock assembly to change the motor from lock actuator
I'm happy to report that I ordered this part from Amazon (but there are several other sites that carry it as well) and it worked! After removing each of the screws, I was able to separate the clamshell. I then used needle nosed pliers to pinch the tabs from the grey lever and replaced it with the white one from my 2000 LC. I put it back together, installed it and it worked perfectly. I had found the same parts (for Left and Right sides on PartsTrain.com (Parts T464912 and T464911) and order the remaining three. They had the lowest prices, $23.11 and $16.73 each. So fro about $75 you can replace all 4 actuators. You could also swap the motors only for about $25 but I didn't want to deal with gluing the clamshells, etc. since this was pretty easy and felt confident that the clamshells wouldn't pop open over time. Thanks for all the information!Here's one for everyone... I ordered this from Stylin' Trucks (P/N: T464912) Its from a 1999 Toyota Camry...
It appears in everyday to be exactly what ours would be BUT if you look, there are screws holding the clamshells together... My hope is that they aren't ALSO glued or sealed.
This could be awesome for anyone that is nervous about breaking the case on their actuator.
The only thing that has to be changed, once you open it you have to swap out the lever (grey in pic, and white on ours) this appears very easy to do once it is open..
Stylin' Trucks had it cheaper @ $21
My local NAPA is selling them for $80
Once it comes in I will give full report!

Any idea which part you would use for the liftgate/rear? Would it be the drivers side or passenger side?

Hey guys... I installed both my rear door actuators. Pretty easy once i got it figured out. Was doing my front passenger side and it was a bit more complicated. Figured out that it was easiest for me to removed the white plastic piece that attaches to the actuator motor assembly (the piece that holds the motor, gears, etc in the clamshell everyone bakes). While I was removing the wire that leads back to the door handle from this white plastic piece, I broke off about 1/4" of the wire. Two questions:
1. Do I need to replace that wire that runs back to the interior door handle since it is now a little shorter (it seems like I will)
2. Can I buy just that wire and if so, what is it called?
FYI its one of the two long wires in the left of the product image here: Amazon.com: Genuine Toyota 69304-0C010 Door Lock Sub-Assembly: Automotive
Thanks!
So the "stealership" says I can't buy just the cable and doesn't have a part for the cable that runs to the lock. I am pretty technically competent but new to this whole working on cars thing. How does one ascertain what/if the part number for that cable is? I looked on a few parts sites and no luck. I'll keep looking but any help would really be appreciated. Right now, Im toying with the idea of crimping something on the end of the cable and seeing if that works...I believe it's called a door latch cable. They are specific to which door. The upper and lower cable are different part numbers usually. I knew someone who purchased one individually for a later year cruiser, so I know you can.
Question, did you use x2 T464912 and x2 T464911 to do all four doors? Just wanted to make sure that the back doors are covered by these part numbers as well.I'm happy to report that I ordered this part from Amazon (but there are several other sites that carry it as well) and it worked!

Front and rear use the same piece but you definitely need different pieces for drivers side and passenger side. I just completed this repair using the Camry actuators and can confirm that its a great idea to use ones with a screw and that the pieces are definitely side-specific. One last thing - and maybe this in mentioned earlier - but you'll need to open the new and existing actuator motor assemblies and swap the piece that runs from the actuator to the door lock cable (i.e. replace the grey one from the Camry with the white one in your LC).Question, did you use x2 T464912 and x2 T464911 to do all four doors?
