If you haven't worked around an airbag before, don't. They are very sensitive and can explode, causing quite a bit of damage and possibly killing YOU. To work on the keyswitch you have to FIRST remove the airbag assembly and the steering wheel. Then you can get to the retaining assembly that holds the lock into place. It's a little different for each vehicle type, but basically it's simple once the airbag and steering wheel are removed. If you insist on removing the airbag you'll need a wheel puller to remove the steering wheel. It's not possible to adequately express the danger involved in messing with airbags if you aren't familiar with them. Just a tiny static discharge will cause it to explode.
