Mine looked like cones as well but if you look at the base of the cones you
should see a thin flat "ring" that can be gripped with vice grips

Subject: Steering Column bolts again

Sorry to bother the list again with my problems. My blower motor sits,
awaiting an answer to the latest problem. The Breakaway Bolts on the
steering column, the upper ones, are not breaking away. If you look in the
Bentley manual, you'll see that the bolts there have the knurled heads that
can be grasped by vice grips and turned. Mine however, look like volcanoes!
like cones! I see no way to grasp them and I have tried to drill the
middle, but so far have only heated up the drill! Any and all suggestions
welcome! HELP!
        TIA,
