Your welcome guys. Hahaha just kidding. I'm glad my video is still helping people out. I think it should be a sticky as many times as this question comes up.

Someone explain to me the reason to remove the switch with the forks locked.

I've had my switch out a couple times and each time I placed it pointing straight up to off before removing it. I pushed the release under it and it came right out. I put it back in the same way.

It keeps you from having to finger diddle it when assembling it again. Once the "keys" inside the lock get out of alignment, it can be a real PITA the get it back correct. Using Cll's way, there's no real alignment problem.

Great video CLL, thanks for taking the time.
