Hi vzavala,

Without the keys, you would not be able to remove the key cylinder . In this case you need to replace the steering lock assy with the key cylinders.

You need to remove the
1. steering wheel
2. Steering column cover.
3. Remove the light switches
4. Drill or tap out the steering locking bolts.
5. Remove the steerig lock.
