Doh! I missed that part; sorry...  When I took apart mine (GM column, so I 
don't know how applicable this may be), there was a small retaining clip 
(spring steel) that I had to extract with a bent paper clip.  This allowed a 
toothed slider rack to come out, and a gear (turned by the ignition switch) to 
drop.  After that, I could rotate the whole ignition switch assembly, and 
remove it.
Have you tried stopping by the dealership and asking one of the service guys 
if you could sneak a peek at the manual?  I've had pretty good luck with that 
if I went during the day (when it was quiet) and asking one of the lot guys...
