As for cutting, these keys require a special side cutting machine which your normal hardware store won't have.

Ended up just exchanging the blades, they are only held on by a small roll pin.
Be careful using a punch to get the pin out. I found out it’s hollow and if don’t use the right side punch it will just go through the pin and it will be impossible to get out without tearing up the blade. I did two of these recently. One went perfectly and the other one I destroyed the blade and had to have a new cut but it was only $10 at the local GM dealer.
