Open the remote portion. You'll see a tab with a spring holding the blade in.
You hold down the tab and pull the blade out.

Yes, thank you! I took my key fob apart and quickly realized how easy it was to remove.

Do not forget to transfer the chip as well.

If it's just the buttons worn, you can simply replace the button side, nothing to "transfer."
