You have to grind off little slots into the top of the ignition bracket where the lil studs go, Kinda lame I can take pics of mine if youd like so you get the idea, thats the only way cuz you have to unscrew those screws but they have no heads on them!.. lemme know man

Go rent one, from a local automotive store, here if you give them 50 bucks they will let you use it, and as long as you bring it back unharmed you get either all or the majority of your money back.

My switch thingy slid right off after I took the steering wheel off, no grinding or cutting anything off...

Put a socket on the nut in the middle of the wheel. Tap on it,preferably with a 5lb sledge, getting progressively harder with each swing as a buddy tuggs on the wheel. This has worked for me several times when a wheel puller wasn't available.
