Had a look in the Wiki, and removing the ignition switch from the lock barrel is explained, but how do you remove the lock barrel from the steering column?
Schadenfreude - the German's haven't got a word for that.

Precisely.
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

No problem. Just be patient; took me nearly an hour of wiggling with a piece of wire before I got mine out.

On mine the release pin is in the side of the barrel, not the end as shown in the wiki.
I acquired some dentists intruments a few years ago, one of which was perfect for this job. Just pushed it in the hole and the lock popped straight out first attempt.
(Dental work done at cut price rates. Anaesthetic extra!)
