Once you have the steering wheel locking ring removed you need to remove the signal indicator handle and then the signal switch. Insert the key in the lock and turn it to the On position. Looking at the lock cylinder from inside the column, there is a rectangular indent that you need to break through the metal flashing to be able to insert a thin blade screwdriver to depress the lock to remove the cylinder. You may have to do some wiggling around but it should come out.
