Changing back brakes on a Harley Davidson Dyna 

Definitely entails a little bit more work. I’m glad they switched over in the later years. I’m not sure exactly how thick that rotor is, but it’s definitely heavy duty! Thanks for watching

🙌🏻🙌🏻 softails can be a little more involved depending on the year. The rear wheel may have to come off in order to pull the whole bracket off

@@GilstrapGarage good to know. Thanks

No problem 👍

Yeah a little play is okay because it’s a “floating caliper” but if it seems wildly excessive then your holes may be wallowed out and need to be replaced

@@GilstrapGarage thanks brotha keep up the great content 🤘🏻

There’s usually quite a bit of wire stuffed inside the frame that can be pulled up. You can’t get your wires through the bars? Or can’t get them out of the frame?

@@GilstrapGarage can't get them out of the frame, I think there's a fold in there, I'm trying to get the connectors out haha

@@knothole5 just did this. There is indeed a service loop tucked in the backbone of the frame just behind the access plate in the rear fender. I removed the rear wheel and fender for much easier access. Tie something to the loop in case you need to pull it back through. The connectors are staggered about where the seat and tank meet. Also there is an access plate on the right side near the steering neck, wires will be zip tied to it. Removing the rear tank bolt gives more room for the connectors passing through.

Thank you everyone, I think I'll unbolt a shock before removing the rear wheel,

Glad you enjoyed it!

Probably a good idea, I definitely didn’t this time lol. But with the new pads in there, the level would have been a little bit higher than it was when they were worn

1/4

what about anti-seize or lithium grease on the back of the pad, that shuts everything up

Yupp, galfer rotors, they were amazing

Do you know how i can get me one !? Mine is a 2006 dyna lowrider cant find them

i had about 36,000 on it when i sold it

Maybe not. But the correct service manual for your bike will walk through it all step by step 🤙🏻

Between this video and the manual you should be right, do you want to be spoon fed as well? I found it very helpful, thanks for taking time to create and post this video @Gilstrap Garage

My question is do I have to bleed the brakes? Or can I just pop out the old and put in the new? And good to go?

@@iancianciolo6838 as long as you don’t crack the bleeders you don’t have to bleed them

If you can’t do it after watching this video you shouldn’t be wrenching on your own bike lmfao. Take it to the stealership and pay $400 🤡
