How to replace the rear door lock actuator on a 2007 Honda CR-V

How to replace the rear door lock actuator (latch assembly) on a 2007 Honda CR-V
Honda CR-V third generation: 2007-2011
OEM Honda part numbers used:
Part 72610-SWA-A01 LATCH ASSY., R. RR.
Part 90103-S7S-003 SCREW, FLAT (6x18.5)
NOTE: When removing the 3 screws at 05:18, use a #3 Phillips head screwdriver. These 3 screws may be insanely hard to remove and you may strip them. Unlike my other video in which I replaced the front door lock actuator, this time I stripped the screw(s). To get any stripped screws out, you will need to use a damaged screw extractor kit like the one showed in this video. For example, www.amazon.com/dp/B07HGSPQDV/... Also, you can order replacement screws from Honda. The OEM Honda part number for the screws is: 90103-S7S-003 SCREW, FLAT (6x18.5).

To get those three difficult screws out without stripping the heads, get a manual impact driver and put a little valve lapping compound on the #3 Phillips head. It took me just a few hits with a hammer to get them all out without any damage.

Correct screw driver needed is a JIS screwdriver .

6:28 Careful trying to get that rod out. Mine would not come out easily. You really need to pry between the rod and the thing its inserted into to separate them. I screwed that part up. I just put too much pressure on the rod and broke off the ear its inserted into. Had to buy a new exterior handle. Thats $100 for a honda part and $40 for aftermarket dorman that doesnt fit as good and the color doesn't match.
