Use your 8mm wrench and disconnect your negative battery cable. You want to use a Torx wrench or something that has that flat tip on it. There is a hole right underneath your key and you just need to feel in for the spot on the lock cylinder and with the key in the on position just push up and the key comes right out. This pin goes on the bottom and make sure it can go in, so you might have to hold it, turn it a little bit and that pin pushes down. Put it in and you have to just twist a little bit and you are all set. Reconnect your negative battery cable.
