Welcome from Spartan Country Michigan.

Let me be the first.... buy the factory service manual and the parts manual. Two of the best tools you'll own. I guarantee you that you will get a few smart *** remarks on this question. Be prepared!!!

While you're waiting for your manual,, , you may as well source a 1/4" 12 pt "thin walled" socket for the calliper bolts if you don't already have one. Thin walled is optional if you have a bench grinder .

Oh, you'll need Loctite (blue) for just about everything you touch on a HD so have some of that too.

This **** is excellent stuff too. I use it exclusively and have yet to have a bolt come loose or be seized to the point where I could not get it out.

I think the lower locking bolt is actually the pinch bolt for the axle. 14-18 Ft lbs

Congrats on your bike and I agree with the others. Get the SM. Brake Parts Cleaner (non-chlorinated) along with the blue thread locker, is another must have.
