Replacing Rear Brake Pads (Softail)

• 12 pt. ¼" socket wrench - Putty knife
• Torque Wrench - Anti-seize lubricant
• Lyndall Racing Brake ZPads.

1. Remove the Master cylinder cover by removing the 2 Phillips head screws.
2. Use the putty knife to separate the inside brake pad from the rotor (be careful not to scar the rotor).
3. Use the putty knife to separate the outside brake pad from the rotor (See Picture #1).
   1. 
4. Remove the 2 brake pad pins (you may have to push the inside brake pad into the caliper with your 2 fingers, as you slide the pin halfway out and then the outside pad as you pull the pins the rest of the way out) (See Picture #2).
   1. 
5. As you slide the old pads out, notice which pad came from where. The new pads will go back in the same direction and position.
6. Once you have both pins out, thoroughly clean the pins with Brake Cleaner.
7. Put Blue Loctite on the pin threads and wipe a coat of Anti-seize on the shaft.
8. Insert the new outside pad first (using the "finger push method," described above) push the new outside pad into the caliper as you insert both pins halfway.
9. Repeat the "finger push method" for the inside pads and push the pins in the rest of the way. You will hear and feel a click on the pins when they are in.
10. Now tighten the pins to 190 in lbs.
11. Press the brakes to verify that the pistons are working and engage the pads.
12. Check brake fluid level in the master cylinder. If low, fill to within ?" of the top.
13. Replace master cylinder cover and tighten to 7 in lbs.

Note: This is done easiest when the calipers are off the bike.
