try pushing downward on that black metal plate using 2 thumbs there in the middle of plates there is a snap ring. try 2 small flat blade skrew drivers and remove the snap ring.and then pull off the that black metal plate..

Autozone will loan you a tool that will push the plate down.....Makes it a snap (pun intended) to get the ring off.

I made my own tool out of a piece of 2" square steel tubing. Cut it into a U shape, drilled a hole in the top of the U so the steering column stub fits thru, then just use the steering column nut to compress the spring.
