There's only two screws that hold it together.  But, your real problem would be if you still have the stock locating nub on the inside of the top half, and the hole in the top of the handlebars that they go into.

They are the two outermost screws/the ones on the corners.

If you still want to rotate it, you will need to clip/file or dremel off the nub, which will require you to completely remove both screws so you can flip over the top half to get to it.

Hope this helps.

the other way to remove the locking pin is to slightly loosen the the 2 screws and swiftly turn the switch unit on the bar this will sheer the pin. i have had to do this a load of times wen changing my bikes to renthal bars.
