I also used a dremel on the lower right opening and expanded it approximately 1/4" - which gave me enough room to slide in/out the actuator with relative ease.

I did have to redo the process as I did not securely clip in the the pull wire that connects to the back of the actuator. Fortunately I knew the process and no new swear words were used as the old standbys worked well.
Make sure you plug in the molex to the actuator when all door locks are in the same state (all closed or all open). Sometimes the system gets confused if they aren't. See my post above.
