Special Tools needed for Dyna brake job?
I searced for the answers here but no luck. I am getting ready to change brake pads on my 09 FXDF and wondering if anyone can suggest buying special tools ahead of time. I have all the allen and torx tools and a torque wrench, but seems like when I get in the middle of a new project I find I need a special tool
Also any recommends on brand of pads, otherwise will just use OEM HD pads. I do plan to have all new fastener hardware on hand IE bleeder screw, banjo bolts etc....also lots of brake fluid....
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you're ready to do some major battle 
Changing out the brake pads and bleeding/flushing the brake fluid on a Dyna isn't a difficult job. The only tool you'll discover you'll need and may not have is a 1/4" 12 point socket or wrench for the rear caliper pin pad. Use a 12 point and nothing else, or your day will indeed be ruined 
As far as brake pads; I use nothing but Lyndall brake pads...

TinCup is spot on! That 1/4" 12 point can be a pain to find, and like Darryl I'm a fan of Lyndal pads. They make several versions of pads, and I personally went with the one with the highest stopping power which is the Xtream.
