This is http://www.lincolnsofdistinction.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?33692-Blend-Door-Actuator-Removal-and-Repair-(Write-Up) Probably the best blend door write up out there. It even shows you how to modify the rod so it no longer breaks the blend door, and also how to reinforce your blend door. If I had a second gen I'd do this whole thing....
