[6pack] Security bolts

[Navarrette, Vance]

	Kevin:

	Yeah, the security bolts are a pain. I had good luck using a Dremel to slot
the top of the bolts, and then backed them out with a stubby screwdriver. I
put the handle in a 6 point socket, and used the ratchet handle to get enough
leverage to pop them out.
	Did the same thing as you - used socket headed Allen screws as replacements.
They were metric threads on my 1974-1/2.
	Given the difficult access to the security bolts, it seemed redundant to me
that they were shear style bolts. No one is going to get to them easily in the
first place if they wish to steal the car. <sigh> our government protecting us
from ourselves, I guess.

More than likely, you will need a broken screw extractor kit.  The steering
lock had sheer bolts, so the heads are broken off.  You will have to get a
set of those "backwards" twist drill bit things made to remove broken
screws.  It's a pain in the arse, ask how I know.  I replaced the sheer
bolts with Allen head cap screws.
