First you need to go to the local parts store and get a steering wheel
puller and a clock spring compressor tool. You can rent them but just
cheaper to buy it and return it. I got mind like 35 bucks together.
You will remove the horn button just by pulling it towards you
be careful not to rip the horn wire out. Next there may be a retainer
clip remove it with a pair of needle nose pliers. Next get a breaker
bar or a impact gun to back the center nut off. Once off use the
steering wheel puller by inserting the threaded bolts into the threaded
holes directly beside the center pin. ease the puller onto the center
pin and tighten down until the steering wheel starts to move back
towards you continue until off. On some trucks there is a steel plate
covering the housing to the left side and towards the top are two
small torx screws remove them and remove the cover. Next grab your
clock spring compressor and install it similar to the way you did the
wheel puller you will tighten down the center bolt slightly
decompressing the clock spring. as you compress the clock spring look
to the center there is a small retainer clip that looks like it is made
into the center pin pry the clip off making sure not to damage it and
remove the compressor tool, remove the clock spring making sure to pay
attention on how it comes apart you can put it all back together.
Remove the turn signal switch should be 3 phillips head screws. You may
need to disconnect the horn wire at this point it just turns slightly
and pulls out. After you remove the clock spring you will see the lock
cylinder body, follow the body towards the center pin. There will be a
small torx bit or a phillips screw to it will be silver and very shinny at the end of the
lock housing remove it and slide the lock cylinder out. Install the new
one and reverse the steps.
hope this helps...........good luck!

SOURCE: ignition key won t turn. steering wheel locked

IGNITION KEY WILL NOT RELEASE
It
can be faulty ignition lock cylinder. I suggest to wiggle the steering wheel
a bit and see if the key gets released out. If that is not helping
then first turn steering wheel to right and try removing the key, or next turn
steering wheel to left and see if you can remove the key.
----------
Spray
wd-40 in the ignition key hole and let it remain there for few minutes, after
that once again try to remove the key and see if that helps.
---------
But
if that is not helping then ignition lock cylinder has to be removed out and
key has to be manually removed.
