You need to take a lesson from a car thief. You will need to get a slide hammer and screw it into the key slot. Then a couple of sharp bangs on the slider should pop it right off. Should not damage any internal components as professionals would then insert their own tumbler with keys and start it right up.

LOL!!! you have to remove the plastic cowling. I forget exactly where...
found the procedures
Steps to remove and replace the lock cylinder
To Remove the Lock Cylinder
1: Remove the cover UPPER/LOWER) from the steering column(usually 2 phillips screws in lower cover, directly behind the steering wheel.
2: Turn the key to the run position (the position before start).
3: Using a small diameter object (paper clip) slide the wire into the hole located underneath the ignition switch on the underside of the column. While pushing up on the pin in the hole, turn the key and pull outward. The tumbler should release and come out.
4: To replace, turn the key in the new cylinder to run.
6: Place the cylinder in the column where the old one came out.
7: Turn the key to the off position and the cylinder is now locked in place.

without the key he wont be able to put the ignition to the on pos. so that means no access to the tiny hold on the bottom.
You'll need to drill that shit out.
