Some vehicles had to have the tumbler in the on or acc position to push in a release button under the tumbler section. When the button was pushed in from underneath the tumbler, you could remove the tumbler section.

If you can see it,
Carefully take a magnetized long thin screwdriver and fish out the clip.
