Turn the key cylinder to the Run position and after that put a suitable tool into the hole in the lock cylinder housing to push the retaining tab down.

With the Special Tool 10041 or a similar Tool 30, unscrew the two Torx(R) Plus bits that secure the housing to the steering column and take out the housing. If the ignition lock cylinder is connected by a transfer, take out the screw and lift the switch straight off the housing tabs on the lock cylinder.
