Cool visitor for the "touring side" needs hand!!

Hey guys and girls!

Can anyone provide a link to a step by step DIY for rear brake pad change for a 2005 883 Low?

I've got to do my nephew's rear pads....I've got a manual online but I'd like to see if anyone has done a step by step....It's my experience to use a visual step by step when tinkering with an unfamiliar model-regardless of how many sets of pads you've changed.

Thanks,
Tony

I dont remember step by step, but its pretty basic, and should be the same on my 06. There is one bolt at the top that holds the pad in, and the bottom of the pad just sets in a groove, take old ones out, put new in, I remember it only actually took me about 20 mines to do.
