i had a brain fart and was thinking f150.

i have the ford manual and it shows the steering wheel is off, remove the str. column shrouds, put key to run, batt disconnected, in park push the lock removal pin 1/8" and pull out cylinder.

hope this helps.

Search, there was a recent post on a ignition cylinder that had the pic posted.

The pin hole is under the key, under the steering coloumn shroud at about a 45* angle. It is not on the face of the key cylinder, but built into the metal part that it inserts into.

I did mine in a parking lot with a pen... No big deal once you locate the hole. Just look directly under the key and you'll see it.
