This is somewhat strange. as today I also received a request from VANCE for a the lock!!
Brett is correct if only the key part is at fault.
To remove it, lower the column(there are 2 mounting bolts with large spacers). Then use an easy-out to remove the 2 break-off bolts that hold the 2 halves of the lock together(5/16" allen bolts are a perfect replacement).
On the back of the half that has the tumbler, you will notice a ??5/32"?? pin that holds it in place. Drill this out and the tumbler will come out.
You may wish to take it to a locksmith first to see if only a better key needs to be made.
best wishes, bruce
