Removing ignition switch?

Anyone else have any problems removing the ignition switch from the dash? I can't seem to figure this one out. Any help is appreciated.

Adam.

Turn the key to the accessory possition, insert a stiff wire like a paperclip into the little hole above the key. You should feel some spring tention when the wire is pushed in. Continue to push against the tention then turn the key toward the left and the tumbler should come right out. Then unscrew the bezel and remove the ignition switch.... WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

The guy I bought it from didn't have the key. What do I do if I don't have the key?
