Key Cylinder Removal - Help

I am trying to remove the key cylinder on a 93 XLT 302. There is supposed to be a retaining pin that you depress and then turn the cylinder to get it out. I can't seem to locate the retaining pin. Any help would be appreciated.

I got my problem solved. I was having my windsheild replaced yesterday and as soon as the repairmen took the old windsheild out a thunderstorm hit. I threw a tarp over the windsheild but some rain got on the dash. I noticed later that my hi beams had come on by themselves and when I opened the door there was smoke coming from the steeing column. The rain had caused a short in my multi function switch. I was able to replace the old MFS without taking out the key cylinder. I just removed the lower steering column shroud, unscrewed the tilt arm and wiggled the old FMS out.
