I think what ever tricks there is are already in the DIYs.
Since I was able to turn the Key into the proper position I got the Tumbler Out.
That also allowed me to pry off the Electircal Connector from the Ignition Switch.
I was able to get the Colum Lock out without lowering the Steering Colum but it was a sgruggle.
The new Colum lock is at least 1/4 inch shorter and that made it only a tiny bit easier to get it back in place without lowering the Steering Colum.
I had trouble removing the Safety Belt Buzzer Switch from the old Lock so I cut the one of the lips on the Colum that holds it in.
Boths sides of that Seat Belt Switch have a Plastic sort of hooks that need to be depressed to remove it. I did not try this but a Bobby Pin through each side may be able to depress the Hooks.
Also the Steering Wheel Lock Plunger needs to be in a position that depresses the Safety Belt Buzzer so you can shove it out without breaking it off.
I threw My old Tumbler into a Sonic Cleaning tank with Water and Purple Power and cleaned it until no more stuff came out of it. I reused the Tumbler and have had no issues so far.
