Default Need help installing ignition lock assembly

My sister's car was recovered after being stolen. Luckliy it wasn't stripped, just taken for a joy ride. The thieves jammed a screwdriver into the ignition. Right now, the old ignition is out and i just bought a new ignition lock assembly so I can install it for her. Can anyone give advice or instructions on how to install it?? Thanks! It's just sitting in our garage right now.

you will need to either drill out the break awaybolts or chisel them out then it is just a matter of bolting the new lock assy in making sure it is lined up correctly

I received the new ignition lock assembly. Looks pretty easy to connect, However, i know what you're talking about with the break awaybolts. HOW the heck do i take that out with such limited space???????? Would it work if i just drilled holes through the top of the bolts??? Do i have to use an easy-out drill bit for that/?

get a little sharp punch and a small hammer and start hitting ccw ( counter clock) those brake away bolts are really easy to remove once you loosen them up ..trust me it is not a big deal takes a little patience
