How to cut off the background from .ai image?

Hello!

I've tried to look for an answer, but could only find instructions for .jpeg images.

How could I get rid off all the white background from my image? All I want to be left is the black writing + crowbar image.

I use Illustrator CS3.

From what I can see, you should be able to

1. Click the transparent background so nothing is selected

2. Use the Direct Selection tool (open arrow icon second from top) and click the white

3. Hit Delete.

And I need to keep this image as an .ai file.
