How do you remove the ignition? I noticed there are what looks like two screws, but I see rounded heads on them. Do you punch them through?
Thanks

 

Cut a slot in the heads of the 2 screws and unscrew them. Those are anti-theft screws. When they were originaly installed and torqued, the slotted/hex heads snapped off.

 

ahhhhh, thank you soooo much! again!

 

I was able to get them off with some needle nose vice grips. You can try that if you don't want to grind under the dash. Little more work, but cleaner.

 

I will tell you steps by steps detail on how to remove it but nah...I rather not post it.

 

Yea the set i got from kim didnt have slots which freaked me out I havent tried to take the ones off the 80 yet.

 

It's not a big deal. Just use a chisel with a hammer, they come right off.

 

A chisel and hammer is quick and easy. Unbolt the coloum and it will fall down about 6 inches. Butter from there.

 

LOL..

I had experience taking them out in my car stealing days. So the best replacement for those headless bolts is taking them to a hardware store and matching them with allen head bolts.

 

i slot them with a dremel cutting disc.
if you have a dremel it makes life very, very, easy.
a chisel and hammer is for old timers...

 

The warrior uses what is at hand.

 

It is vise grips, dude. A vice grip is like a Klingon shoulder pinch, except around front and a couple of feet lower. I hate when that happens.

 

if im in the junkyard, hammer and chisel, if im at the shop, dremel is the tool of choice
when re-installing, i use the front stationary gear bolts with 2 extra washers to raise the bolt head up high enough to clear the upper ignition mounting bracket..its tight in there!

 

That Duuuude your referring to, is not a dude. Hence the name Kim's (I love 13B's)!

 

i used neddle nose vice grips to so eat a fat one..
