01 Ignition key barrel removal?

Here's something I haven't had the pleasure to deal with, until now.

Tried looking online for instructions but could only find older models. Need to pop the barrel out to clean/grease.

Not an easy job. It's not like a Ford where you push the pin, turn the key and piull the whole lock out....

Try dry lock graphite.

Where is the pin location? I tried a pic in the 2 spots nearest the face of the lock. One directly under the lock at 6:00 and another one off to the side, closer to the steering wheel, like a tube sorta.

Thanks. Got it. Pulled the airbag, wheel and column switch, was able to drill out the 2 roll pins from there.

There wasn't any snap ring on mine.
