How to change rear brake pads on 2014 XL883L
I am new to this forum. I recently bought a 2014 Sportster 883L which has very limited brake on its rear. I am planning to change the rear brake pad by myself. I saw couple of videos and post online but nothing specific to 2014 sportster 883 model. If one of you have done the video please share, appreciate your help. I would like to know.
1. The socket size for the rear brake pad pin so that I can buy the right toolsets
2. The option to change the rear brake pads without removing the calliper.
I have attached the photo of my rear brake caliper. It looks like if I would be able to remove the pin that's holding the pads I would be able to get to it and replace.
Thanks a bunch. Happy Riding everyone!

Correct procedure for 2014+ rear brake pad change
still the same principle though. pull the bolts that retains the caliper, rock it back, pull the pin, remove old pads, and reverse with new pads. just like any other caliper.
bleeding processes is the same as it ever was.... same as it ever was....

I too was wondering if the rear brake pads can be changed on a 2014 Sportster without removing the caliper. It looks like if I were to remove the pad spring and remove the pad pin, I might be able to pull the pads up and out, just as easy as on the 2013 models.
Does anyone think this is possible? Newhogger, were you able to do it?
