If it's just the cylinder that's damaged, you don't need to remove the
shear bolts.

If it's anything like the Civic: Put the key in, and turn it to "1". Remove
the tiny set screw from the underside of the lock body. Push in the small
pin on top, and withdraw the lock cylinder.

My Helm manual for the '96 is surprisingly vague on this point, so I'm
guessing it's the same as earlier models.
