First split the key, to do this get a wide flat bladed screwdriver place it on the join under where the blade sits when closed and twist to prise it apart.
should look like this now
now, remove the round badge to reveal a screw
remove the screw
now prise apart as shown below
as it comes apart do it slowly and keep an eye on the spring.
reassembly is pretty much the reverse except you need to wind the spring so it will flip the key. And you will probably need a new badge too, i used nail varnish to hold it in place.
FYI
this is where you can find your flip keys part number.
