Replacing door actuator...tips, experiences?

Hi all,

it's that time of the year again that something broke on the Mini...this time it's the driver's side door actuator. I've found a replacement and some general instructions, but we were wondering if anyone from the club has and tips or experience making this replacement? How complex is it and how much time should it take?

Orrrr....we wouldn't be averse to sponsoring some beer and/or dinner, if someone might be willing to stop by, and lend an experienced hand while we're trying to do this (on an upcoming Sat or Sun)...

Input requested!
Nadine

Yep, I've combed across forum posts and DIY instructions and turned what I found into an 8-page instruction sheet. :-)
