Ignition switch replacement

I replaced the electrical end of the ignition switch in my 1970 350, and I`m trying to remove the lock and tumblers from the old one, I inserted a paper clip end thru the hole in the key face, I can see that I`m depressing the latch, but the tumblers won`t come out, any ideas? Thanks, Doug

It is possiable to do it correctly and it still won't come out without drilling it.
