If the column is locked, will it come out after unbolting the four firewall fastening bolts and the two torx head bolts?... mine isn't coming out. -__- any tricks to getting the fucker out?

Ya can take the steering lock off by undoing the two bolts holding it.The heads are designed to break off.Use a small punch and bring them through enough to grab with visegrips.

Still can't find them.

I have everything off but the ignition barrel. Any pics? I'm even looking on the new column and barrel and can't find any pins..

Center punch a indent into it, then tap the punch with a hammer in the undo direction, undoing the headless bolt..
