1995 Mercury Tracer 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 110k miles

How do you remove the Ignition Key Cylinder? It is stripped down to steering column stem but there are two roll pins to secure the cylinder. The pins only go in or out in one direction. How can they be removed to pull key cylinder out for replacement?

Please help!

Thank you,
