Thanks Blue - but after reading don's experience and having read post #6 here, I'm leaning towards buying the actuator (already found the part number in the "Part Number" sticky note) rather than spending so much time in repairing the present faulty actuator.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

Quick update: yippeeeee, all my doors lock and unlock now! I used a weed-puller to get those panel-fixtures loose (NOT easy), and GMPartsDirect.com provided the part for something like $120. Thanks to all for this tutorial! Made the job possible at home.

maybe i'll use the old lock assy as a learning device and try the self-repair process described above...

The Jameco part number is different than what was in my Door Lock Assembly - one letter off. Of course I do not know if it makes any difference. Or if it is actually a better or worse motor - perhaps I or someone will look into if there is a better motor than GM used in this application.
The small gear is a tight press fit. I did not wish to possibly damage it with its removal from the old motor OR damage the gear upon installation on the new motor or possibly damaging the new motor during installation of the gear. That is why I went the route I did in buying the complete motor/gear assembly. Sometimes my hands have a way of destroying small parts.
