Answer
Hi Darrl:

We have recently uploaded pages and a description of how to remove the lock cylinder from a Ford steering column.  They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions on our website. Although the example is for a different vehicle than yours, the column is identical to yours (tilt and non tilt use the same housing)
