You do not need to remove the exterior door handle when replacing the front passenger door actuator.
I left the window fully closed and removed the lower 10mm nut from the vertical bar that guides the window up and down. With the lower bolt removed and the upper bolt loosened, I was able to swing the vertical guide bar to the side to remove the actuator.
The hardest part was removing the 2 plugs that hold a wire against the actuator.

I did this today as well. My experience was identical to above with the Passenger Front door actuator. I was glad that I didn't need to deal with the window, leaving it up 100% was fine. Just loosened the guide bolts to make room for the actuator to come out and back in. Removing it was 10x harder than installing it, for whatever reason. Excellent write-up, thanks very much OP.
