I have searched for the answer but can't find it. Can someone tell me how to remove the ignition switch assembly from the steering column of a 79 midget? I have removed the steering wheel and plastic covers over the turn signals and wipers. I have taken out the four bolts that hold the column to the body. I see the two headless bolts. Now what? Will I need to remove the entire column? How do you remove those bolts?

I am removing it because I am replacing the whole thing.

Thanks!
 
IIRC you have cut grooves into the headless bolts.
 
Yes- either cut a groove in each "headless" bolt (use a Dremel or similar) and use a common screwdriver to remove
-or-
Drill a hole (maybe 3/16" diameter, about 1/4" deep) in each bolt and use an "easy out" on each one. (the Dremel and screwdriver IS easier!!)
