Remove the steering column covers. You will see bolt heads that's been sheered off due to anti theft breakaway bolts being used on the lock cylinder. You need to some how create traction so you can unscrew the headless bolt by either cutting a slot on top or chiseling the edge to get it to start turning and unscrew the bolts that way.

If you're trying to replace the ignition switch pig tail, then you might be able to remove that part without removing the lock assembly.
