One comment: The first illustration suggests you can simply pull the two
halves of the key apart. I found it easier to use a flat-bladed
screwdriver.

Flip open the key blade. In the recess where the key normally sits, you
should see a slot where it should be clear you should stick the blade,
give it a twist to separate the two pieces.
