    Without the key you must drill the lock guts out.

First remove the negative battery cable.
It has to be in the LOCK position...
remove the steering wheel.
on tilt wheel applications, remove the upper extension shroud by squeezing it at the top and bottom positions and popping it free of the retaining plate at the right.
remove the 2 trim shroud halves.
disconnect the ignition switch electrical connector.
drill out the break off head bolts connecting the switch to the lock cylinder housing by using a
1/8 in. drill, and remove both bolts.
disengage the ignition switch from the actuator pin.

How do I change the ignition switch in a 1995 F-350? The original key was lost.

*If* you had the key these are the steps: Insert the key and turn to the RUN position. There is a small hole in the steering column below the ignition switch. Insert a 1/8" drill bit (or something similar size) and push upward on the retaining pin in the hole. As you do this, pull out the cylinder lock. It should come right out. To reinstall, turn the new cylinder to the RUN position. Again depress the retaining pin and insert the switch into the steering column. Make sure the new switch is completely seated & aligned before you turn to the OFF position. This will let the retaining pin extend into the hole.

Because you do not have the key you will need to pick (or have the lock picked) before you can replace the lock cylinder.

I have a 1988 f-350 diesel and i have lost my key and bought it without a spare how do i remove the ingnition with out a key

You don't without ruining it. I suggest you get a locksmith to make you a new key they can get in there somehow and make a key. In 1988 did Ford use a seperate key for doors? If the doors are the same or the glove box those locks are easier to remove. Also, I've never tried this with a Ford but on newer GM cars if you take the title to a dealer they can make a key from the (VIN) serial number. But, you have to have the title to prove ownership of the vehicle. I don't know if they can do that on an 88 or not. Good luck.
