Take out the battery put in a new one snap it back together and you are good togo.
well long story short i went to wal mart they didn't have the right size, so i wasted 15 minutes driving there, then i just said fvck it, if i run into another wal mart without them then i'd just be wasting time. i didn't think paying the dealership 2 dollars more than what the batteries cost would hurt my wallet that bad

edit: i was also at the dealership to reset my tpms and diagnose my tranmission problem, so yeah

I was told I would need a special "ester knife" which I could only get at the dealer to open the fob.

No. It does not charge your key fob. the dealer should have told you this.

If we asked 100 G owners I gaurantee 60 would say they think the slot is to charge the key. Who the hell started this urban legend?
