Order the new lock cylinder by vin number so you don't go through this again. It'll come with 1 key, so I'd order another 1 or 2 keys so you have a few around.
You'll need the steering wheel lock and ignition switch (electrical portion).
Yes you'd want to remove the whole column, once you get the instrument cluster and under-dash panel removed, it'll all be pretty apparent what needs to be done, plus unclamp the inner shaft at the steering gear box. Then you can unclamp the steering lock and remove the clamp, and you'll see a locking pin that holds the steering lock to the steering jacket tube. Then you can gently pry apart the smaller tube the steering lock fits in to, remove the lock and toss the whole works, and start over. It can be tricky to fit the new parts back in, post back when you get that far for more advice. Oh, you'll also need the trim piece that locks in over the lock cylinder. If you can't turn the key you need a few extra parts like this.
