There's a tool that holds the locking wheel down such that you can remove a wire snap ring then it will allow you further down to a small bolt or something that holds the body of the lock cylinder itself.

That ring is tricky but will come out with two flat head screwdrivers - snap ring pliers aren't so helpful as it is withOUT eylelets,





Shown in that snap ring the the tool threads onto spindle bolt and little nut pushes it down. Common tool - cheap or rentable,

Shoot - your pic didn't showUnsure Not sure just where you are at but things should tilt with wires still attached to get further down. You probably are needing to remove the directionals and a wire loom that should unplug down by the pedals to take the housing that hold the lock cylinder itself off.

Just Googled the web dry looking for a blowup of where your at and only found one with a floor shift so no shifter in that particular diagram.

Try your pic again or another way if you can,
