Please Help Installing Front Brake Pads: Direction? ?
I am changing my dual front brake calipers from OEM to OEM Chromed with hex nut chromed hardware.It is a 2002 FLHRCI . I have new EBC sintered pads to install. The new pads in the package are shaped differently so I assume they need to be installed in a particular position.I do not have a 1/4inch 12point socket to remove my old pads to see which way they are aligned.
I am starting on the clutch side of the bike...Please help by indicating which of the photos pads would be on the INSIDE of the caliper .. I can take it from there I hope.
Cheers
The new pads look identical to this ...

You're making me nervous HHazard. My 2005 manual says the rounded corner of both pads go to the rear/bottom when installed. Same for both front and rear calipers.
Read your year's manual to make sure it's correct....i'm pretty sure it is. This is one you don't want to get wrong.

HHazard,
Don't start something you can't finish, or are not properly equipped to do. But you have your answers, so best of luck getting them in right.

I changed my front brake pads on a 2000 road king classic. After looking at the pads and calipers I don't think the pads could be put in the wrong direction. Does anybody know if that is true?
