Ignitoin Switch Removal

Can anyone tell me how to remove the ignition switch from my 72 Blazer? I have the outer bezel loose but I believe the key cylinder has to come out and Im not sure how to do it. I believe the pinhole on the face of the cylinder has something to do with it.

There's a FAQ on it, I just can find it right now.

Basically...

insert a pin into the pin hole
insert the key
turn the key to the left until the key will no longer turn
remove pin
proceed turning key to the left
and remove key w/ cyliner intact
