i want to replace my current ignition key cylinder barrel with a better, smoother, (and more keys) type i have (that i have already removed easily).


problem is, there isn't any hole in the target cars cylinder to put a nail or paper clip into...so, i tried to drill a hole

problem continues b/c this facing steel part seems to be solid...unlike the other one.

here you can see a started hole being drilled (by me) and i stopped because i don't want to destroy it and have to rip out the rest or have it towed or call a locksmith...figured id get answers from you guys...

so, heres the pic of where im at... now...what should i do to remove this cylinder ?
thanks for any help..





btw,.clicking on the image *should* open it up in another tab and be able to be clicked again for super size
