How do you change the ignition switch with no keys on a 92 f150?
Remove the plastic shroud from the steering column by removing its screws in the holes underneath first, and then you look under the steering column near the igntion lock (probably half way back down the length of the lock) for the location of a small hole that you would put an icepick into,, and when you have the lock picked and turned 1/3 to the right (towards dash) you push up in the hole with the icepick to push in the set pin located in the lock-then you pull out the lock. If you cant do this you will have to very, very gently drillout the lock by driling straight into the keyway bypassing two small hardened steel pins in it. If you do this be very careful not to damage any more of the lock center than you have to, or it can damage the outer casing of the stering column lock retaining mount and destroy it.

How do you repair the lock for the key for a 1991 Subaru Legacy?
If you're trying to use an old/used door lock to replace one on your car, you can take it to an automotive locksmith. The chrome cap will have to be removed and replaced and the wafers in the lock will have to be matched to your existing key. You can then install the lock in your vehicle and your old key will fit all locks once more. The locksmith should also be able to provide you with a new lock retainer for installing the lock into the door. If it's not a door but the ignition, a good locksmith can hand-cut a new key to an old ignition lock, or if the ignition isn't installed yet, he can also set the lock up to fit your existing key. Use caution when replacing ignition locks. Incorrect installation can lead to dangerous conditions while driving. If your vehicle has airbags, leave it to a professional. Airbags can be dangerous and require special handling while working around.

Where could you find a diagram for repairing ignition switch on 2000 Chevy Impala with 34 LT engine that remote was lost causing it to lockup?
Ignition switch doesn't lock up if you lose remote. Your problem is a bad ignition lock set and not the ignition switch it self. There are 2 pieces to the set up, 1 is the lock and 2 is the switch. If your key can go in and turn to the "acessories" or "on" position, then it can de replaced rather easily. If your key can't turn at all or won't go in,(lock set) it can still be changed but it's a little harder to do. You can do this with out replacing the ignition switch.
How do the locksmith tools work?
Each tool works in a different way. However, a lock has what are called tumblers inside and each tumbler is set to a different height depending on the grooves of the key that fits it. Locksmith tools push each tumbler up or down depending on which way they need to go, and then when you get to the back, you can use a second tool to turn the key hole and unlock the lock.

If you lost the keys to your 1968 Chevy truck how do you get keys for it?
Replacement parts and keys can be bought from custom or restoration websites and catalogues. I suggest getting a matched door and ignition set.

Otherwise a locksmith can rekey some locks, and a good one can reconstruct a key from the cylinder, but those options are all more expensive than just replacing the ignition cylinder and lock cylinders.
How do you replace the ignition switch in a 1992 Toyota pick-up truck?
forgive my ignorance but i believe that the ignition switch is in the dash. first pull off the plastic coving around the switch and put the key in the ignition and roll it to the ACC position and look for a button or sliding lock device that will release the the lock cylinder from the external casing. p.s. you may need to use a small screwdiver or an ice pick or a pen to push the button in. Unless you are ready to do some work the ignition on a import is a sealed unit and you will have to drill out 2 or 3 roll pins which are set at 11-2 and 6 approximatly, after removing these pins the cylinder(Thats were the key goes) will then slide out. Then you are able to insert a new cylinder. But if this does seem to be to much of a hastle then your local locksmith is able to do this for you.
