You pull the top and bottom cover off the steering column. Then insert the key and put a paperclip in the release hole that is in the switch housing. Then turn the key to accessory position and pull the cylinder out. Simple and you don't have to fight with the door panel and the little plastic clips that like to break, or the clip that retains the lock in the door.
If you have experience with doing this sort of repair, maybe it is easier to go this way. I would still pull the ig. cyl. Much faster with less chance of breaking any little pla$tic clip$ that are co$tly from Toyota.
