This process is no different then replacing the window motor on a door. You just remove the panel and put the motor in as it states for a door. I am attaching that process below for your review. The manual does not list a process for the tailgate so we can just apply this to the tailgate and you should be good to go.

Also, here is a guide on how to remove a panel:
