  Does the 67.5 have the dash-mounted switch? If so there should be a 
hole about 3/32 inch in dia. on the barrel of the lock.  Insert a piece 
of music wire, or the non-business end of a small drill into the hole, 
and you should feel a springy resistance.  With the mounting hardware 
off, push the wire or drill in, and gently pry the tumbler assembly out.  
There should be a little ledge to allow a small prying tool.  It might 
take some wiggling, but it should slide out.
     The column mounted locks are much more tamper-proof, you'll probably 
have to remove the tumblers L.A. style...with a slide hammer ;-)
