I did one of those a few years ago, if I remember right I ended up with the column out of the car. Hope that helps.

You need to drill a small hole to get to the detent. Its about a 1/4" down the cylinder and a 1/8 hole at 10:00 oclock. That will get the lock cylinder out. To the plastic plug with the phillips screw. I break the old one out from the top and then work the screw.
