The CSM/LM are in prograde for SPS-1. How do they get to 90 degrees yaw for SPS-2 without gimble lock?
 
Sorry for the delay on this!

P30 REFSMMATs were used for these burns, this allowed being "out of plane" with respect to the orbit while having the alignment platform indicate "0,0,0" for the burn.
