Help! Removing ignition lock cylinder...

Ok, I am replacing my door and ignition lock cylinders, and am stuck on the ignition cylinder - I have the assembly removed from the truck, but cannot figure out how to manipulate the lock cylinder so it will come out of its housing. I think the two springs have to be pinched, pulled, pushed, or something, but nothing seems to work - anyone know how? Thanks!!

I rember reading something about this and if i rember right the key has to be in the cylnder and in the assc positon and you stick a paper clip in the small hole on the face of it and it will pull out. Never tried it but i think that how it is removed.
