The caliper spec is correct but the pad pin spec is not.

Ya get what ya pay for. Paid ****, got ****...thats karna for buying stolen property. Good thing you didn't get hurt or worse yet, hurt someone else because you wanted to save a few bucks. Now go buy a factory service manual and all is forgiven.

"Sniff". Now I've been sufficiently admonished for being cheap and trusting someone else. But I didn't pay for anything stolen.

Not to mention it just drives up the cost of the real deal in the first place.

The engineering genius who did the calculation for in lb to ft lb must have been using metric inches....
Throw that manual into the garbage can.

I have found some mistakes in the service manual for my 15 Tri-Glide involving the front brake bleeder locations. Found a mistake in my owners manual for my 92 Heritage too. I reported both th HD and they said it happens once in awhile and thanked me. Just goes to show you if you don't think it's correct, look at it alittle deeper before continuing.

Well actually I told my friend to hit the "Delete" garbage can since he downloaded it on his phone. You can't trust anything or anyone these days. I just knew when he showed me that there was no way I was tourqeing those pad pins to 30ft lbs. I actually catch a lot of misprints in reading stuff. Wonder how I can get paid for proof reading?
