Im looking to swap this with my current one, how do i remove this?

Its threaded on one end, but the other end looks like it is filled in

 

It looks like its an aluminum rivet or stud. Air grinder should be suffient enough or a decent dremel. - Darrell

dremel

 

use a dremel and cut slots in the top of the rivet...then use a flathead screwdriver to remove and reinstall them.

Like everyone else said, use a dremel and cut slots in it. But replaces them with studs and a nut, this will make it a lot easier if you ever have to replace it again. Or use a bolt.

 

thanks!

 

lol, stop stealing cars. Thats some tough metal a dremel will take you a while

 

the std gets tilt steering

 

not really turn the speed up all the way and a couple grinding wheels

 

We had to use a hammer and chisel on mine because they were in there pretty good. But other than that, they come out just like a regular screw.

 

Just changed that on my 90 si hatch and those screws cut like butter with a dremel, slot em deep and back them out with a flathead. Only took me 5 mins to get both out.

Use the chisel and hammer to unscrew it. Easiest way to do it.

yea i just replaced that on mine too. i cut slots in it with a hacksaw black and unscrewed it with a screwdriver. when i put it back in i used new bolts, but the head was too big to use a socket on (the socket woulndt fit in the space) so i trimmed the bracket down a little bit, and cut slots in the heads of the new bolts then screwed it back in with a screw driver. btw, you cant use a nut since the other half of the ignition peice is already threaded (you already knew that) and the bolt size and pitch is 8x1.5mm i believe. costed me like a dollar from the hardware store for both bolts.

edit: and oh i almost forgot, they arent filled in or riveted or anything like that. they are shear bolts. they are designed to be installed with a ratched and when they are tight enough, they head just twists off. you could always just get new ones if you wanted.

 

Either do what others say, dremel or air grinder, but first try needle nose vise grips, they slowly become looser over 14 year, i was about to slot mine, but tryed needle nose vise grips for the hell of saving time, and it worked mint

 

I would use the dremell, if sloting it doesn't work, cut the head off of it, take some pliers and twist it out, go get another screw to replace it
