I'm getting ready to do this same thing. I don't have my Hayne's manual here at work with me, but the procedure (along with their typically crappy pictures) is in there. I know you have to remove the steering wheel, but I don't think the tilt becomes a problem so long as you leave it alone after you've got it taken apart.

Tilt wheel does not affect the lock cylinder removal

To answer his question, which I don't remember seeing at the time, there is no easier way, and the key position doesn't matter. If it is out of the "lock" position, you can use the key to pull the cylinder out.

When you buy something... a bottle of pop for example, who gets the profit from it and what do they do with it? Maybe your money's going to groups that want to hurt you. I think everyone should do a search for things they purchase regularly "____ supports". Might just find a company you won't buy stuff from anymore.

Is this a common issue with these trucks? I have a 1994 C1500 (non tilt wheel) and had the same problem back in 1996. Luckily it was replaced under warranty.

common problem

replace it

new ones are cheap

have to remove steering wheel, lock plate, and pull the turn signal assembly up far enough to get to the screw or tang that retains the lock in the housing

most have a screw

some dont
