How do you remove brake pads from a Harley Davidson Sportster?
Squeeze the caliper against the rotor to compress the pistons, but don’t bend the rotor. You only need about an 1/8th of an inch of compression. Now remove the slide pin with a 3/16 Allen socket. Once removed, the brake pads can be easily slid out of the caliper.
How do you put a brake pad on a Honda Accord?
Slide the caliper back over the rotor, and then slide the outer-side brake pad into the caliper. You’ll feel the brake pad notch slip into the notch on the brake caliper bracket. Apply a small amount of caliper grease to the slide pin and slide it through the brake pad hole. Repeat the process for the inner-side brake pad.
Where to find socket for brake pad pins?
I can’t seem to find a socket for my 2004 ultra classic’s brake pad pins. I was told that it takes a 1/4″ 12 pt. socket, but the socket wall is too thick to fit over bolt. ( not enough space between bolt and caliper ) Is it a 12pt 1/4″ bolt or does it take a special wrench? If it is 1/4″ where can I find a thin wall socket? Thanks !
How do you remove rear tire on Harley Davidson?
Start removing the rear axle by removing the safety clip from the axle nut. Pry upwards on the safety clip with screwdriver. Lower the bike back down to the ground or apply a slight amount of pressure to the bottom of the tire with a floor jack. You want the weight of the tire off the axle to keep it from binding.
