Had to do this yesterday on my current project. Car came without a key and had an
MGB column of the same vinatge (1970's) which uses the same lock assembly so
switched them out. The trick is to use an angle grinder to cut slots in the two
'screws' that hold the assembly together. These must have been screws with a
break away head. Had to use an impact screw drive to get them loose
but they came out easily after that.
Hope this is helpful to others.
