trying to remove pedal assembly

[LowR3V'in]

hey i'm trying to put in new bushings for my pedals but
can't take the assembly.


it's a 90 airbag car idk if that matters.


looks like i need to drop streering shaft to get to the last
two bolts because it is impossible to get a spanner on there.


See those bolts? there is no head on there to unscrew and drop the shaft.
how can i do this? the nut on the back looks like it's welded on.
thanks for the help i'm stumped as shit right now.

Tried a crowfoot wrench?

Those cone shaped bolts without heads are security bolts, the head breaks off after they are tightened. I usually slot them and use an edged tool to unscrew them.

BMW calls them fracture bolts.

just for future people.
i tried to hand chisel it loose, vice grips. nothing worked.
vice grips where only able to grab the washer.

What you need to do is get an air hammer with V chisel and it'll spin itself loose
then use vice grips on the damaged head.

this is the bolt that needed to come out.
a crowfoot worked on the right one but left one there was no room.
