You don't have to do anything with the keys. The switch that goes bad is not the part the key goes in. It's the other end inside the dash. Review this article: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/86-ELEC-Ignition_Switch/86-ELEC-Ignition_Switch.htm
...and search the many write-ups that we have had on the forum for tips.
