replacing rear brake pads on a 15 tri glide

[halvander]

does anyone know of a you tube video showing how to replace the rear pads or a supplement manual, mine need replacing and not sure how to back off the calipers

Not yours in the video, tho the procedure is the same for retracting the piston

The beginning of the video highlights why I put a DK comfort lift on Fat Bottom Girl ... well ... one of the reasons, albeit not the big one ... WAY easier to get the wheels out from under the fenders ... LOL.

thats how my 2012 was but the 2015 is a little different with the e-brake and the nut on the back

Try getting a service manual for your year trike...they are priceless.

I did get a manual and replacing the back pads was eaiser than the ones on my 2012, no backing off the piston just using a clamp to retract it, a big improvment over the later models. Thanks

Nothing needs to be done with the parking brake when installing these pads?

you must back off the parking brake by using the adjuster then after you put pads on you must readjust the parking brake, my dealer wanted close to $250 for labor to do this, the pads were $95
