I have searched the forums for replacing the rear pads on a 07 FLSTC. Now I get removing the pins and using something to push the pads back so they will slide out. But I am careful by nature and want to know is this all I need to do? No bleeding or removing any covers?

 

that simple. only time you would need to bleed manually is if you replaced the master cylinder, a brake line, or a caliper. since your not opening the brake system pushing the brake pistons back in, you have no need to bleed them.

Just make sure that you apply the brake repeatedly and FIRMLY for a minute or two AFTER you have the new pads installed and pins back in the hole. This will seat the pads and set the brake pistons back into working position. Under NO circumstances should your hand EVER touch the brake lever/pedal unless you have everything in running order. Otherwise you will be rebuilding/replacing you calipers and thus will need to bleed.

But really, its just that simple.

 

Its a good idea to put a little grease on the back side of the pads where the metal to metal contact occurs plus a little on the two pins. Thatll help keep the squeeks away.

 

Here is a link that makes it easy. Just be sure you have the correct pads.

and if your front pads are not the same as the back like my Fatboy then use this chart to tell

When you depress the calipers, you need to make sure you have the lid off the master cylinder.&nbsp\\; The pad pins take a 1/4" 12 point socket or wrench.&nbsp\\; Also, I found it easiest to pull the pins completely and depress the old pads.&nbsp\\; The manual says to pull the pins far enough out to replace the inner pads, pump back up then do the outer pads.
