2013~2016 Help Request: HVAC Air Blend Actuator

[Ryton]

Hi hooked, First the good news, no dash disassembly required. We have rain in the forecast for the next two days, so pics will be a problem. However, I'll describe the location of the actuators. First, the left hand side is accessed from the foot well with the actuator screwed onto the exterior vertical wall of the HVAC housing. It is behind the vertical plastic appearance panel (pulls off) beside the gas pedal. My problematic duct is located behind the knee bolster, below the steering wheel and above the brake pedal. It is ~8-10" long and is cantilevered off the HVAC housing. It needs to be removed to gain access to the actuator, which is behind it. Hopefully the details above will help with its removal. I did not do the passenger side but it should be easier as the actuator can be accessed by removing the glove box (See YouTube video for cabin filter replacement). Hope this helps and good luck!
