How Do i Replace my Ignition?

Yeah, so somehow my key broke off *INSIDE* My ignition! I have all the trim pieces of the steering column, Im all ready to take the ignition off, and The clamp that is used to hold the ignition to the column Is held together by fasteners with no head at all! I dunno if they are just covers, or what the deal is, But all i need to do is get the ignition off the car so i can try to extract the key, or replace it with a new one!

any help or advice anyone?

You'll need to drill out those "self-shear type bolts" then get new ones to reassemble, the bolts come with a head that's snapped off during assembly to prevent theft.
