The trunk actuator is a small white box near the center of the trunk lid. Use a 10mm socket to remove the three nuts that hold the silver metal plate that the trunk actuator is mounted on. Use a star bit to remove the two screws that hold the actuator in place. Unclip the wire harness that is plugged into the actuator.
Plug in the new actuator, and replace all the parts in the order you removed them.
