Need help punching out ignition cylinder - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know there are plenty of 10 year olds in the city that know how to do this , but with all my parting out I really don't have much experience with punching out the ignition. I NORMALLY avoid trucks with no keys. I need to get the ignition to turn and don't have keys. It's an 80's parts truck. SUPPOSEDLY you just drill a hole in the center and use the ears to turn it???? On TV they use a slide hammer.
somebody give me a step by step please. the truck is in a remote field so any tools will have to be hand tools or battery operated. I have pretty much any tool here. I do have a slide hammer too.
need to get the truck Sunday so need to know ASAP. thanx,crossy
