    Okay, so I am replacing the ignition lock cylinder and I have come to a halt.

    Once you get everything apart, there are 2 security bolts holding it in place behing the steering

    wheel. They are like rivets at the top and I followed a DIY exactly and they will not come up!


    here is the DIY I followed:

    Here is what they look like before I dremled them:

    This is what they are holding on:

    This is where I am stuck, they will NOT come up with a screw driver any which way:

    I do not know where to go from here and I don't want to pay the dealer to do the work and ONLY
    let me use a new part from the dealer when I can get one out of another car.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!


    Thanks,

    -Andrew

    use a hammer and a chisel to turn them out which will be the best way to take them out unless you have a air hammer which is how I take them out I can get them out in 20/30 seconds
