It's on the bottom. It's about an 1/8" hole, and about 1 1/2" in from the face of the ign cyl.
This pic might help. The key cylinder is partially removed to show you what you are looking for. the steering whell lock button is on top. This is what you should see while you sit in the drivers seat the release hole is facing you. Inside that hole is a small button that releases the cyllinder from the column, the button can be seen on the cylinder. Its under the plastic cover if you haven't removed that yet

My mistake and I even looked at the FSM for my 62 and it is vague, the drawing is almost identical to that pic I posted from an 82 column that is identical to my 83. I wonder if the drawing in my 89 manual is from the earlier column wouldn't be the first minor error in the FSM.
But glad you found it none the less

Each one is a little different but it is the same type of button across the board. Almost all Toyota's are the same just a different location on different models and years.
FWIW - Just saw this on flea-bay:
Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 1988-90 - Ignition Lock Cylinder w/2 Keys - C30132 | eBay
Part # is for FJ62 -- Anyone know if the 60/62 are the same? Or what the differences are if not?

Apparently not. The pic in my post above is from an 82 column and it doesn't match my 62 so I doubt the key cylinder from a 62 would fit an early column. At the very least it seams the pin that holds the cylinder in place is in a different location

My 87 Fj62 looks like that but the release is toward the bootom instead of the top.
82-87 is the same for FJ/HJ/BJ60.
And the same seller as above now has this: EBAY
Part # 69057-90A05 (But these are aftermarket, not Toyota)
ANYBODY happen to have a pic of the FJ62 cylinder they could post (diff angles, please)
Spike, your wish is my command
Surprisingly the button is NOT on the bottom of my 1990 62. It is on the FRONT as you look at it from the drivers seat, on the side that faces the steering wheel, right behind the wiper control arm. If you look just above my finger you can see a small circle. That is the release button. And yes you can get to it with a small allen wrench and the cylinder will pull out without removing more than the plastic trim that covers the column. I just pulled mine to make sure.
