If you want to remove the barrel, you need the key.

Insert the key, turn ignition to ACC. There is a metal pin that looks like a little button, you can see it from underneath the steering column IIRC... should be fairly obvious though. Push this in and pull the key out, the barrel will come out with the key.

To remove the actual clamp that holds the housing to the steering column, your best bet is a hammer and a long and fairly chunky flat head screwdriver. Position the corner of the screwdriver against one side of the dome (these are bolts) area so that it will dig in when you hit the screw driver with your persuadeatron. Tap, tap, tap, tap re-position the screw driver, tap, tap, etc etc until it turns. it takes a while, but it works.
