The upper two steering column bolts, which bolt the column to the
underside of the dash, and shown on 48.2 (not called out by name but
have "10 Nm [7 ft lb]" notated), are some kind of anti-tamper thingies
with conical heads.

Other than the heads, are there anything magical about these bolts? Can
I just bang in a couple of regular bolts? Vice-gripping a round bolt
head is not my favorite way to remove/install bolts.
