It's 20 years old and 100% of them eventually fail.

This means the independent Mercedes mechanics know how to do it, too. Try to find one with a "loaner" cylinder, so you can drive while you wait for the replacement--which your independent will order through a dealer.

Also, don't fixate on "drilling." None was required to remove ours, just the proper special tools.
