I believe to remove the cylinder you put the key in position 1 then insert a pin or two, depending on year, to release the cylinder.

If enough of the key is in the cylinder maybe you can convince the cylinder to turn.

If you can't get the cylinder to position 1 you'll have to drill it out.

Actually its not even that easy. The High security keys require part of the dash to be taken out and the cylender cut out with a high speed saw. You don't think Mercedes would allow their cars to be stolen by any thief with a cordless drill do you?
