Answer

Hello XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX. You will need a steering wheel puller and a tool to depress the lock plate in the column. Once you have those tools, you can accomplish this job. You need to remove the horn pad, then the steering wheel. After that you will remove the plastic cap that is on the top of the column. Next you will depress the lock plate and remove the snap ring that locks the lock plate on. Once that is off, you will remove the horn contact and the phillips screw that attaches the bracket for the turn signal arm to the directional switch. Remove the screw that attaches the hazard button to the directional switch. From there, you will remove a spring that is under the horn contact and the 3 screws that hold the directional switch to the steering column. Pull the directional switch towards you and just enough to move it out of the way. Then you will see the torx bolt that locks the lock cylinder into the column. You will have to pull out the key buzzer contact that sits at the lower portion of the lock cylinder. Pay attention to the way it sits to you can reinstall it later. Remove the torx bolt and the lock cylinder will come out.
