Unhappy 300CD: Yep, ignition tumbler turns no more

Well, it finally happened. Wife drove the car about 8 miles away and there it sits. Ignition tumbler won't move. From the looks of the details of the removal/replacement job (for tumbler not turning) in the Haynes manual, this problem is no joy to fix. I can't seem to find the job in any of the factory manuals - is it there?

Looks like www.dieselgiant.com has a lengthy and helpful write-up. Anything anyone would like to add? I'd sure appreciate the help. I replaced the cylinder head on this vehicle and survived it successfully (so did the car, thankfully), so hopefully I can handle this one successfully. Looks like I'll have to get the vehicle towed back home. With the steering wheel locked, will I have to have it put on the truck's bed? Or just lift up the front wheels?

I'll gratefully accept any advice on this one. Thanks-
