Default power door locks

I have an 02 DX which = no power door locks / windows. I recently purchased an Autoloc CK-2000 - 2 door power lock kit with keyless entry. It's out for delivery now, so I should have it this evening, and was hoping to put them in sometime this week / weekend. Has anyone put these in their car? If so, how hard is it / what tools will I need (anything special)?

Even if you haven't installed one of these, how do you take the door panels off? Last time I tried taking something off without researching how I almost broke the bezel around my head unit [:@]

Thanks for any help.

Well.. removing door panels is pretty easy.. A screw in the arm rest that reveals two more, a couple behind the door handle, remove the molding around the side mirror and then pull - pops right off...

But, what I wasn't aware of is that 02 DX are cable driven locks, not bars.. which makes the actuators almost worthless... Now mind you I said almost -- I think I may have found a way to attach the actuator to the cable.. I'll figure it out this weekend probably.

just in case someone out there is interested, I mounted the actuator to the door and attached the bar to the part of the cable where the door lock (the plastic part that is on the door) screws on, and tested it, and what do you know, it works.. I think I am going to have to do a little modification to attaching the bar to the cable because right now there is no way to put the little plastic part on so there is a hole in my door where it should be... I wish I had a camera so I could take pics for you, but mine died..
