Exclamation Can't Get Ignition Barrel Out!!

I've just replaced my steering shaft and column and need to change the ignition barrel (Where you put the key into the ignition) of my old column to the new one. I can't see any bolts on how to undo it and obviously don't want to break anything. Any suggestions?

The entire cast aluminum switch assembly comes off. Grind a slot in the 2 mushroom shaped screw heads I've pointed out in blue and then use a screwdriver to remove them. The switch assembly is now free of the column.

You can use "plain" screws to re-assemble. The round ones are there as an anti-theft measure.
