The method coinstash gives is absolutely the right thing to do. Substitute Jaxx etc for Electrum-LTC as your prefer.

And remember the golden rule: NEVER paste private keys that hold any currency into ANY website or wallet in order to claim forked coins (including ours). Practice responsible forking! 1. Wait for the fork; 2. Move your Litecoin to a new address; 3. Use the private key for the "old" address to claim your Litecoin Cash.

*sigh* I am confused now, as I see 2 different HOWTOs. I have LTC in an electrum ledger wallet (NOT the ledger bitcoin app). I also have another - yet empty - electrum wallet, from where - months ago - I moved everything out into the ledger electrum wallet. So from what I have understood, I have to do this:

Move all LTC into non-ledger electrum wallet
Export private keys (Is it ok to export them now, or have I to do this after the fork, when it´s empty again?)
- Wait for fork to happen
- AFTER fork I move LTC back to ledger electrum wallet
  - Create new LCC wallet
  - LCC wallet: Import private keys from non ledger wallet
  Are these the appropriate steps or did I miss something?
  Regarding: "never paste private key in a wallet, which holds currency" --> What would happen, if I let all my LTC stay in the non-ledger wallet, instead of moving it back to the ledger wallet, AND then claim the coins by pasting the key in LCC wallet?

I can see how this is confusing for some people because electrum has a ledger option now. I think you have the right idea though: use the non-ledger (i.e., non-hardware) version of electrum to generate a temporary wallet to hold your LTC for the fork. After the fork, move the LTC out of that non-ledger electrum wallet and back to your ledger wallet. Only then do you extract your LTC private key and import it into the new LCC wallet to claim your LCC. That way you are not exposing the private keys of any account containing LTC.
