As far as I know, you can't just swap tumblers... you replace the whole steering lock unit. They use sheer bolts as a theft deterrent. Grab a Dremel with a thin metal cutting disc and slice a groove in the rounded bolt heads, and back it out with a flat head screw driver.

You have to take off the cover(the chrome cap with the littering) and you will see everything there,there is two tiny taps that holds the cap on the body of the ignition,pry it out...good luck.
