Super long story short, key was jammed, and I attempted to unjam it and broke the ignition cylinder. I have gotten everything removed down to the collar on the steering column and it is held on with two security rivets of some sort. How do I remove these two screws?

Hello,

Can you upload the picture of those rivets in question?

The replacement procedure does not call for anything like that.

See attached for the replacement steps.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
