OK so the GF lost the keys to her car. The doors are unlocked, and I got a new tumbler and key from the auto parts store. Anyone have any idea how it comes out? Just drill and hope it comes apart?

on my ford truck it was removed with a small cold chisel and a hammer..

One piece at a time.

Creepy, but worked well.

Most times to remove the tumbler you need the key..
 
Well I got it! Check this out. I went to te junkyard just to see if they had an idea, and to drop of some scrap. They gave me a whole box of keys and said Try These, just bring them back. Well about halfway thru the box one of them got it to turn!

So Once it was in the on position I pushed the pin and pulled it out the way I was supposed to. It pays to have a god relationship with your local Junk Yard.
