You can check out my old thread on the column lock.
Jammed ignition lock - steering column mechanism worn
I 3D printed a plastic threaded cap to replace the metal one. It is made from thermoplastic so it is easy to cut off with a hot knife if you need to get it off without the keyway turning. There’s an STL file at thingiverse for free download. Be careful and make sure to use a plastic like ABS or PETG that can take dash temperatures. My barrel melted a little and the key got sticky. It lost its ability to snap back after cranking. I eventually sorted out my keyway and put everything back to stock.
Another way is to use a Dremel to grind down the square tab on the cylinder that locks into the slot on the threaded barrel. It’ll be easy to steal your car but if you don’t care that’ll do it. I suspect this is the pay per view video you’re talking about. Pretty sure he just grinds off that square button so the black barrel just unscrews.
My feeling is if you straighten out your keyway and column lock parts (see my thread for the root cause of jamming) then it won’t matter if you have an easy release cylinder. Mine is all back to stock and I like it that way for security.
