Knocked this out over the weekend. Only took a few pics. The linked write up is pretty much spot on so I didn't see it necessary.
I had a nice pile of metal bits/shavings fall out when I pulled out the tumbler.
Also took two attempts at grinding the individual tumblers because I didn't grind down enough the first time.

Greetings Mr Fish!
Congrats on the needing only one key now, and thanks for the two images.
What kind of tool did you use for grinding? I am hoping my dremel will do the job.
You’re a bit more handy and was wondering how much time to dedicate to this task?

Thanks

I would budget 3hrs. I used a Dremel with cut wheel to cut a slot for a flat tipped screwdriver in each one of the ignitio screws. Then I used a right angle screwdriver to break the screws loose and got them by hand the rest of the way.
I used a bench grinder on the tumblers but I'm sure a Dremel would work, although having the wire wheel to smooth things out afterwards was nice.
There's a bunch of wires around the ignition. When reinstalling they go UNDER the ignition. The plastic shroud won't fit if you put them over the ignition. Ask me how I know.
