its usually requires a special tool to push down on the plate. a homemade one can be rigged up if youre savvy. once you push it down about 1/8 or so. you will see a small ring around the steering shaft. its only about 1/16 in dia wrapped around the shaft. you need to remove this ring. preferably without destroying it. as you will need to use it over. once the ring is off the plate will come right out. but the ring can be difficult to remove.

Cannot get locking plate ring back in place on 94 gmc steering wheel don't know the order it goes underneath the locking plate?
If you are asking about the small circlip that holds the locking plate down, it goes on top of the locking plate. There should be a spring on top of the turn signal cam then the locking plate goes on top of that. A special locking plate depressor is required to hold the locking plate down, then the circlip holds the locking plate in place when the depressor tool is removed. Hope that makes sense and works for you.
