You'll need the key for the old cylinder so that you can turn it. I don't recall what position it needs to be in (whether it's the RUN or START position), but then you insert a thin wire, like a straightened-out paper clip, into the small hole on the face to release the lock. You should then be able to pull the tumbler assembly from the case.

Disconnect the battery first!

Then turn key to accessory and insert the paper clip. Turn it another notch to the left and let go, it will pop out. (I think that's how it goes, been a long time.)

Can you drill out the lock?
