THere is a snap ring holding the metal disc on. I use a big washer and 2 sockets to press the disc down, then get the clip out.

this is on a older tilt without the ignition lock.
could someone with a shop manual scan the pages for the disassembly and email them to me.

well i figured it out once i pulled my head out.them pivot pins are kind of a pain in the ass.i could see a person having lots a trouble with them if the column has never been fooled with,i got lucky mine looks like it has new locks and stuff.now i just have to replace the detent spring and figure out how to put it back together.
