Misc. 73 CJ5 ignition cylinder removal

Help!! pulled my ignition switch out because seemed to be difficult to turn to start and at times wouldn't make contact. Trying to pull lock cylinder but am not sure how to go about it.

Pretty easy, put the key in and place a small wire poke (paper clip) in the pin hole and push.

Thank you so much! Came out a lil stubborn , was trying with that hole but couldn’t find anything on my searches about how to do it. Restoring this thing one thing at a time. Dad bought it new in 73 and it’s been sitting over twenty years. Any tips on removing the bottom end?
