I replaced mine with standard allen head bolts, a thief is gonna pick your bike up a throw it in the back of a van anyway so the type of bolt isn't really applicable.

When I did mine, I think I disconnected the lock from the loom, I definately ended up with the yoke upside down on the forks to brace it, and I used a soldering gun to add heat to the bolts before using an impact driver to shift them. They still put up a fight.

Curvy ones use locator bolts, you'll need to undo these, or undo the clipon pinch bolts too.
Then it might need a bit of a tap to get it to shift.
