Best Answer

The entire actuator unit, with the wire running into it, is threaded into a housing on the axle tube. It has a large hex end (about 1.25") and standard RH threads, and can be removed with a large adjustable wrench, or a socket if you are going to toss it and want to cut the wire. There is a gasket inside, so e careful when pulling it out; also the mechanism inside is lubricated with gear oil from the differential, so in case you lose some, you should be prepared to top off the diff oil. If the original thermal linear actuator failed on you, you may want to replace it with a mechanical one like the cable operated posi-lok(T): <http://www.4x4posi-lok.com/>
