OK after you remove the trim and boot, this is from Bentley

1) Insert ignition key and turn to position one (ignition on) insert straightened paper clip into hole at top right of key slot, press clip into the hole as far as it will go, pull lock cylinder out of steering lock housing.

Reinstall is reverse of removal, place ignition lock in position one, (ignition on) then lock cylinder barrel pawl with paper clip..

good luck Mr. Bond
I did this today; had a bear of a time getting it back together. When I had it apart I sprayed the internal parts with WD-40. It seems to have made a difference. As I pulled out to bring the car to my winter storage spot, the seatbelt retractor locked up and would not budge. Cars!!!!

WD-40 is NOT what you would want to spray in there.... a graphite lubricant would be a much better choice...
