Default Actuators on Monte carlo's and Impala's

Well for a while now i've had the "clicking noise" in my dash which was the actuator for the climate control and once i opened the dash up i realized all 3 actuators where not functioning

I replaced all 3 of them , The driver side blender door and the fresh air door where very difficult.
On the monte carlo there is no roomto get to the fresh air door one i had to make a special 5.5mm socket wrench that was small enough to get in there but big enough to get leverage to crack em loose.

Anyone else had this problem ?

Yeah, I used a 1/4 inch ratchet and pointed the handle straight up. Put the big hand on it.

When I first got my car I had that loud clicking in the car whenever you would switch the position of the fans, the dealer fixed it. Didn't ask what part it was but they told me it was about 300 for parts and labor. I didn't pay for it, but that's what they said.

My car just now started this problem. I looked around under the dash and cannot find an opening to them at all. Any advice on what to take off to get to it?

The ones on the passenger side you just remove the glove box.
Make the car start doing the clicking noise and you can easily see/feel which one/ones are bad.
