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. bye |

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