Yes see if you can push the button and remove the outter sleeve. If you removed the cylinder core the button should press and the rest of the cylinder housing should come out. Its hard to see from the pic whats going on.

I have looked everywhere on the housing for this button, I did find a hole and pushed very very hard with an allen wrench to no avail. With a slide hammer how would I do that? I have never even seen a slide hammer.

The button is square and right on top of the housing try unplugging the wiper switch connector to help see it. It is there though.

If the core doesnt turn then it wont start. Did you drill straight down the key hole where the key goes on top and on the bottom?You could try removing the core with a slide hammer with a big screw on the end.

Then it should have turned. If the core is still in there try usuing a slide hamner to remove it.

Me too once you drill them they should turn if drilled correctly. Unless the housing is jambed up some how but that is super rare. Wish I could help you but cant thru the computer your best bet would probably be a slide hammer at this point.

Auto zone rents them but looks like it doesnt include a screw attachment. See if maybe you can find a body slide hammer with screw. Also double check the slide hammer at auto zone for the screw attachment.
