Default how to replace ignition lock cylinder

I have a 91 EX Accord Station Wagon and need to change the ignition lock cylinder. Can anyone provide instructions for this?

Thanks

First remove the steering column shroud; screws are underneath.
Unplug the switch;
Then the "collar" of the lock cylinder has breakaway bolts holding it to the column.
You can use a small chisel on the edge of the breakaway head to get it backing out.
The service manual calls for the bolts to be drilled out.
Then swap over the electrical part of the switch to the new cylinder.
re-assemble everything and go flag your 3/10s of an hour.
