Ignition Lock

Has anyone any experience removing the ignition lock. My keyes were taken by a Repair shop owner who closed down with my car still apart during complete exhaust and manifold replacement and took my only set of keyes. I purchased a used ignition lock and keyes. I had looked for info and only found out how to remove two breakoff bolts. Are these the only two bolts to remove unit. Old Question below.
After removing covers, Are the two security retaining screws the only thing to remove to get unit out. I could find no other info other than how to remove these two bolts/screws. These seem hard to get to to be able to tap out. Thanks for any steps in removing unit.

Why not go to the dealer with your title or registration and have them cut a new key
