Changing Ignition barrel

Can anyone tell me what this entails? Is it a simple case of swapping barrels or is there any ecu work that needs to be done after?

It is easy to do.
I used a Dorman kit. It comes with instructions and a sheet of paper to keep track of the tumblers you take out of your old switch.

They put together a video:
