I think the idea is to disconnect everything that is possible from the
front and rear brackets so that the entire column with lock can be
rotated and you can get a punch or drill/extractor to the sheared bolts.
On reassembly I used the special bolts but I tightened them only enough
to secure the lock but not enough to shear the heads off. You can
probably find appropriate regular bolts.
On re-assembly I lubed the inner column. I didn't see any evidence of
previous lubrication and it was the rusty inner column that wore out the
bushes.

If that doesnt work they
want you to drill the bolts out. Not sure how you are supposed to do
that under the dash. Any brilliant, simple suggestions.
I am hopeful that whatever I have done to this point can be corrected
without too much problem. Thanks for your assistance.
