Default Steering column bolt removal?
Ok, so is there some trick to removing this bolt holding the steering column?
Thinking either trying to drill it out or take a sawzall to it :-)

yup, they both get drilled out. luckily there is a welded nut on the other side, so i just found a bolt that fit the hole and tightened them down when i had to remove my column

ViceGrips. That's how I removed mine. Took about a minute. Grab it by the base.

Cut a slot in it with a cut off tool. Then remove using a screwdriver or impact driver.
