You can get a new lock set at almost any parts store. As long as you can put the igniton in the run position it is a easy job. The instrutions come with the lock.

This site shows how to remove the lock cylinder with the key or without. If your is a tilt column, just turn it to RUN and push the tiny pin just below the lock cylinder and pull it out. If it's non-tilt, you have to pull the steering wheel to push the pin inside.
