You can now see the trunk actuator. It connects to the lock mechanism by the metal rod with a spring.

To remove the actuator begin by removing the two hex head screws. They should be 8mm heads.

Then disconnect the two vacuum lines, making note of their orientation. One is for lock (red stripe), one is for unlock (green stripe).

Finally, pull the metal armature of the actuator off of the lock mechanism. It pulls off in the direction of the vacuum actuator body.
