Question
i need to replace rear brake pads on my 2007 Electra glide standard. I've done know how to do it on cars but i want to be sure i can do it correctly.

Answer
remove the caliber. Pry the pads open so you have room to install the caliber back in with the new pads. remove the pins that hold the pads in and install the new pads. re-install the caliber and pump the brakes so the pads will close and you good to go!
Good luck and happy riding
