Hot/cold air blend door actuator repair

[Jeza]

Hi, I have made a short video while repairing my 2003 Alphard heater air blend door actuator by replacing the tracked disk within the unit. Hope it helps if you have a noisy or intermittent actuator.

Perfect timing for me. I've got a clicking actuator and a donor unit sat on the shelf ready to use. Thanks 👍

This is great stuff we all learn from each other

I did this job yesterday following this guide. It was probably an hour's work all in, and the video helped to make it a quick job. Thanks for the assistance 👍

Great video. I'm struggling to remove the three screws holding the actuator in place and worrying that even when out, I'll find out impossible to put them back. I'm using a mini socket set to access to get past the parking brake. Any tips?
