I found the easiest way to do it is by first removing the cover ovet the steering column(a few screws). You then need a long flat blade srew driver. Insert the old key into the cylinder and look for a "button" on top. Depress the "button" with the screwdriver and pull the cylinder out. Just slide the new cylinder in.
What kind of cylinder?
These cars don't use a crank sensor - the ignition module watches the electrical properties of the #4 cylinder spark plug and uses that to calculate where the engine is within the mechanical rotation. If you are having troubles, verify/replace that spark plug and the wiring. In a past experience with this car, it turned out to be the ignition module, located under the coil packs.

First, the best thing to do is go over to the parts store and pick up an ignition lock cylinder WITH KEYS. Then take off all parts of the dash that cover up your cylinder. Then look at the new one find where the little button is to push. Put the keys in the ignition, turn it to the on position (battery disconnected), push the pin in and it will come right out by pulling on the key
Try jiggling the steering wheel a little, press your brake pedal, and make sure your car is in PARK.

If it's the 4 cylinder engine, you don't. The 4 cylinder uses a timing chain and it doesn't need to be replaced until you rebuild the engine. If it's the 6 cylinder engine you need the special tool set that aligns all 4 camshafts while holding the crankshaft at the proper position. It's effectively impossible to replace the timing belt without the special tool set; don't even try. Last time I checked, the tool set was about $500.
Beeping can come from a few faults happening in your saturn. You may have an issue with the ignition switch located in the steering column, or if you have automatic track style seat belts the contact switch that triggers the audible beep may be faulty
Yes, the front ends should be identical.
Yes, it should be perfectly fine to use ATF4 on your 1998 Saturn wagon.
