off my registration card i never mailed in
Maybe a call to your local Ford deal might work, they might have a dummy key so you can at least get it down and out, I'm sure they run into this problem more frequently.
You can take a cheap 9/16 socket and about 2' of extensions. Drive the socket onto the lock, and pull it off. Then the square end of the tire tool will lower the spare.

Great advice Huck, that's how I got mine down, popped the 'lock' out and it's good to go with the tire tool.
