Hey guys, just wondering if anyone could give me some detailed instructions on what I need to do to replace the front pads on my 06 standard. I'm tired of throwing my money away at the harley stealership ... Cant afford 400 to have them put on some pads for me...Just had my 15,000 mi service for 390 bucks and I really dont know what they did outside of change the oil....any help out there?

 

10mm & 1/4" 12 point sockets and about 15 minutes. Service manual is a good investment.

 

Do you need to bleed the lines .. whats the best way if you do .?

 

you can get bleeder at any auto store for like 20 bucks but i dont think you need to bleed to change the pads. man that last part dont sound like somthin we should be talkin bout.

 

MrBuck, ya I was clr on the bleeder really didnt know if I really needed it ... if I was just poppin out the old pads and putting in the new ones....as far as the last part .. Just really was curious about what I paid for...?

 

HAHA thats nasty!
service manual will be your best friend...invest in it
i just changed out my brakes, easy job

good luck

 

min thickness for rotors stamped on side. open brake master cyl. insert screwdriver or drift between pads at top and pry the pucks back. remove 2 12 point bolts and remaove backside pad. reinstall bolts to line up rear pad. remove bolts drop out front pad install new pad reinstall bolts and torque. same procedure other side. small amount of brake pad grease on backside to keep from moving and squaeling
