I had to do this a month or so ago on my TriStar.

1       Remove steering wheel - 24mm socket required
2       Remove plastic around steering column - Phillips screw driver
3       Remove the wires from the wipers, signals and bottom of the ignition
switch
4       Remove the turn signal and wiper controls - small flat driver
required
5       Use key to put the lock cylinder in the unlocked position
6       Use a 6mm allen key to remove the bolt from the lock cylinder
7       Pull lock cylinder
8       Remove ignition switch with a small Phillips driver

Assembly is in reverse order - hope I didn't miss anything.
