1995 ford escort ignition switch

How do I remove the old cylinder on the ignition switch? I SAW THE TWO ROLL PINS, BUT I CANT REMOVE THEM. TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE ON POSTION AS WELL.

It requires pulling the steering wheel, removing the combo switch, unplugging the ignition switch, removing the ignition/shifter bracket mounting bolt and positioning that assembly aside. Next remove the 4 steering column mounting bolts and lower the column. Cut slots into the lock cylinder bracket bolts using a dremmel tool or anything. Remove the bolts and then the lock cylinder and its bracket.

Installation is the reverse.

Good luck and post back with questions or your results. :)
