You do this drilling gingerly until all the barrel mechanism is completely drilled out and removed.
When the barrel mechanism is gone you will able to peer into the hole that's left. You will see a slot at the end of the hole. Put a flat blade screw driver into the hole and turn the switch to position 1.

When you have the switch in Position 1 this release the steering lock mechanism. While in position 1 you can use the lock removal tools - generally I use two pieces of thin coat hanger in the two holes that release the black cover and the rest of the remaining lock mechanism.
So once the hardened plate is off, I just drill directly into the keyhole? how deep should I go? What size drill bit?
