As below, pretty easy to do.

Just a reminder to also remove and replace the transponder chip while you are about it. Doesn't work in the bin.

The problem with that is you then have to get the blade cut and they are not always very good quality blades.

As I still had the original key but the fob was worn out, I was able to remove the blade with the use of a hair dryer and brute force and then super glue it into the replacement fob.

Regards

Tom.
