Hello,

You will need to remove the outer plastic cover and then use a sharp chisel to catch the edge of the bolt to loosen them because they are anti-theft bolts secured to the steering column by screws and of course, has an electrical connector.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
