You need two special tools to do this repair...A steering wheel puller and a lock plate depresser.
First, if your car has a padded 3-spoke type steering wheel, locate the screws (one at each spoke) on the back side of each spoke and remove them. Carefully pull the trim pad off and then find the wire that is plugged into the center of the column from the trim pad. Push in and twist the wire free of the column and be careful as a small plastic piece and a little spring will come out too.
Make sure the steering wheel is in the position of the car being driven straight ahead and then use the steering wheel puller to remove the wheel. Do not turn the wheel in either direction while removing it.
Next remove the round black plastic cover that has a couple of screws holding it in place.
Next attach the lock plate depresser and push the column lock plate down about 1/4 of an incch and then remove the slotted ring that is around the column that was holding the lock plate in place.
Next release the lock plate and remove it. You will see a black Phillips head OR torx head screw at about the 2 o clock position in the column which will appear to be screwed into the ignition lock. Remove that screw and the ignition lock cylinder will slide right out.
