Replacing ignition lock cylinder
So I'm about to replace the ignition lock cylinder on my 88' Cherokee, anyone have some simple instructions? Also, am I gonna need any special tools? As always any help is appreciated.

If you have AAA, the jeep is on the road and you can not start the jeep due to the lock cylinder not turning. Consider calling AAA to see what they will charge you to do the repair.
I had my ignition jam up in the drive way and AAA did the job on site for a very reasonable price. This meant all of my keys still worked.

Have to pull the steering wheel. So a steering wheel puller and a horn assembly compression tool. Then you can access the cylinder. If I remember right there is a spring loaded pin on the side of the cylinder that you have to push to get out.
