I like this forum better than any other

Get my cast off tomorrow, it's been a hell a long 6 weeks for sure!

Was doing the last few items left to button up on the bike and WHAMMO! here's a clue to what I was doing for the last 2 hours

Care to guess what this little gem does?

nice guess but it's for the bike not me. Besides, cut up wire coat hanger works best

That is the correct way in the video
and Bunker you prob have a tool built that will work
he describes the lock button on the bottom of the switch very well
I just went through all this on my bar change.
Also a good time to spray lube that switch underneath while its off, Mine had a little surface rust. I worked it back and forth with the key in it
