Hello,

In order to replace the ignition lock cylinder, the steering wheel needs to be removed first.
Take extra precaution when working with the airbag module. Do not point the air bag inflator towards you.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
