You have to do it from the back.

Take off the steering column surround, take out the ignition wires and grind 2 slots in the security screws so you can get a screw driver in. then go from there

yeah you can , maybe its a roll pin ? I dont think Ive ever taken more than one out so Im guessing its a pain, plus you need the key that fits. Maybe take the assembly off and go to a lock smith?
