2001 Saturn L300 ignition assembly bolts

Those are called shear bolts when they reach a certain torque the head of the bolt shears off when u put the new bolts in u will shear those heads off as well.U will need a punch with a pointed tip not too large and use that to take them off.U just dig the punch in to start it rotating then dig in again to get another bite and keep doing that untill u get it out enough to grab it with pliers just stay away from the housing with the punch. Let me know how it goes.

I was wondering how u made out on getting those bolts out glad to hear u got them out.I hear u on all the saturn dealers closing I worked for alot of them and the one I worked at closed also. Ok on ur problem with the no start its nothing to do with the new key or cyclinder the new housing u put in has a passlock sensor thats ur anti theft and why it wont start ur body control module has to learn ur new passlock. Ok heres what u have to do to learn the passlock this will require ur battery has a good charge.U have to repeat these steps 3 times if u dont complete each cycle of learning before u start the next u will have to start over. Ok turn ur key to the start postion let the starter run a couple of seconds then let it go back to the run postion where it is when u drive the car the security light will be flashing or staying on solid at this point wait atleast ten mins I recomend timming it the security lite will be off or on solid at this point depending on how it was when u cranked it over earlier. Now u can turn it off for 30 seconds and repeat the cycle a total of three times after ur third time is complete turn it off for 30 seconds then the next time u turn it over it should start then u know ur done learning it. Its not hard to learn let me know how it goes.
