I'm having trouble getting the ignition cylinder/ignition off the steering column... Anybody have pictures of ideas or a walkthrough on this? I'm pulling it for someone, so it needs to be intact.

I can help you. Here is what I did I took a small grinder and cut a couple of deep grooves in the bolts so I could unscrew them with a large screw driver. See pic below. I am assuming that is the problem you are having.

Exactly. Someone pointed me to a thread that mentioned they were headless bolts. Vice grips and patience!'87 Volvo 740Ti Estate | '88 Festiva LX FOR SALEComment

Yeah the manual has this picture. I think they put it in the manual just to show they have a sense of humor. I tried it and Ill admit it is pretty funny. But it doesnt work. The head are rounded so clamping a needle nose vise grip on it is nearly impossible.
