Default I did it!!!
Just got done with my first rear tire change, caliper rebuild, brake pad on my 07RKC. Have to bleed the brakes and adjust belt tension yet. The shop manual is worth every penny and the advice on this forum is great. Thanks to all.

Not only did it boost your confidence, it saved you some $. There is a lot you should be able to do with the help of your manual and the forum.

Order some speed bleeders and make your bleeding an easy one-man job.
