Gonna cut W123 ignition lock...key won't turn

Bad news. My ignition won't turn past the zero position after many hours of trying every which way. I have to cut the ignition lock out and replace with a new one and new tumbler. The tumbler mechanism has a lot of "slop" in it so no wonder.

Does anyone have any suggestions about where to cut the old ign lock, say near the 10 mm clamp area? Will the parts just fall out when the ign lock is cut in two, or does it somehow stay connected to the steering column? This job looks do-able, but I need to know how the ign lock is connected to the steering lock before I begin cutting. I plan to use the 1.5" dremel cuttoff disk.

Thanks a million for any help.

I will post my results and pics when I get through with this.
