    • For the best access to the brake pads, we recommend securing the motorcycle in an upright position.

    • If you do not have a motorcycle lift, you will still be able change the brake pads, but it is still a good idea to secure the front wheel in place.

    • Be sure to allow time for the brake pads to cool completely before working on them. It may take ten to twenty minutes, especially if the motorcycle has just been ridden.

    • It is possible to use your hands rather than a C clamp, but it is much more difficult.

    • Slowly tighten the C clamp, forcing the brake piston back into the brake cylinder until it is completely depressed.

    • Make sure that you work slowly, or else the piston will force brake fluid out of the master reservoir and all over the motorcycle.

Thanks for taking the time to explain and for posting the detailed pictures. This was very helpful.

James - Contestar

Nice job. Was looking for a picture of that darn anti vibration clip. Thanks

Blake Will - Contestar

The spring clip is installed wrong. The brake pad will rattle. Push the brake pad in from the rotor side with the clip pushing down hard on the pad holding it in the housing. The clip is to stop the pad from rattling in the housing, not to hold it against the piston.

Frank Lock - Contestar

GOOD JOB !!! This is almost the same exact as my 98 road king brakes.

Brett Hartt: this is so valuable for simple latin american like me. A professional tool that you are giving away. G. bless your generations forever.
