Your current tumbler will have to be drilled out. Get a new tumbler and key from your local MB dealer - it's about $100, but most dealers will give you a MBCA discount of 20% - it's more that the aftermarket crap you put in there, but this way it matches your other locks and if you ever get in this fix again, you can always get a key from any MB dealer.
