Scooby- you shouldn't have to pull the wheel- once the column trim is off, there should be a small "button" under the lock cylinder. Push that in while you turn the key back, and the cylinder comes out. At least that's how I remember doing it. I think there is a wire with a slide clip that comes off first too, that's the chime thingie, it slides off with some help.
And if you didn't open the wheel puller, return it- of all the wheels I've pulled at the boneyard on lots of Ford vehicles, I've never used one. I **** pull the bolt and pop it with my hands from the back until it loosens itself off.

ok so far , all i see is the back part of the cylinder , kinda like the sliding part , where they left that area open for some reason? i jabbed at it a few times with a screwdriver , however got nothing. am i at the wrong part for said button?
thank you Joe , you were right on the money with the cylinder pull out , however i think auto zone gave me a messed up cylinder? im gonna take theirs back tomm , but thanks again for that tip. im glad i didnt have to pull the steering wheel.:thankyou:
hey yo , what am i missing here? i got the first cylinder in , however i cant get the small cylinder with the key into the first cylinder that sits in the steering column? , i hope that makes some sense of my situation? the part was together when bought however when i tried to install , it all went in , tried to jigggle it around to fit in its home , and the 2nd cylinder with the key came out , and i cant get it back in? hope it makes sense , and i hope someone can help me.
