    Cool steering bracket removal

    i'm just getting to the end of a strip down on a 72t and now need to strip the steering bracket out of the cabin. On the bracket is 3 bolts with no heads( proberly to stop car theft) so on the basis that they have never been shifted since install how do you unscrew them??? is there a special tool??

    I'm thinking I'll just use a grinder to knock off the tops of the "bolts" to remove mine..

    You could use a Dremel tool with a cuttoff wheel and cut a groove in the head that will fit a flat-head screw driver.
