However, replace it is not the easiest thing to do because it's in a very tight location and I can't see what I'm doing, perhaps the best thing to do is to ask my mechanic to replace it.

I'll give it a try and then I'll give you feedback
The limited access is the worst part of replacing the actuator, I agree. Otherwise it would be a fairly benign process. If you have a flexible inspection camera you could try that for help. Or try taking a picture with your phone if you can get a decent angle.

When I replaced mine, I was able to mostly orient myself via touch after using an inspection camera to see how it all connected.
