You will not be removing the steering column in order to service the ignition lock.

The two bolts with the torque-off heads that hold the ignition assembly to the column are generally not tightly attached. I prefer a small, fiberglass cut-off wheel with my Dremel tool to cut a flat slot for a screwdriver, or you can use a drill bit and an easy out.

but pulling the lock assembly off the column doesn’t give you any more access to that piece than you already have with it still clamped onto the column. As mentioned previously, powdered graphite, or Houdini lock cleaner/lubricant can be generously applied with it still clamped onto the column.
