How do you remove the ignition lock from the ignition? I see the two small holes and I've tried putting paper clips in them but no luck so far.

mine only had one small hole though... so I can't tell you which one to use

I read the manual (thanks Bill) but could find anything about re-keying. Thanks for the responses though! Finally, only one key...
