Heritage rear brake pad removal?
Hi
Silly question but bear with me
!
I need to replace the rear brake pads on my 2009 Heritage. I do not have (but will purchase!) an official Service Manual but assumed that the pad removal would be self explanatory.
On checking today it seems that I need to remove the pin that holds the pads in place. Easy enough but it seems that the access to the pin is obstructed by the swing arm down tube.
Does this mean that I need to remove the caliper to then remove the pin or is there some secret that I am not seeing?!
Any top tips/procedures would be most welcome!
Many thanks
Jules

The manual, no doubt. Someone in here has one and could send you the walk thru. Every scoot I purchased, the manual was the next. I know you know this, hell, I guess I'm just remindin ya?
