Followed these steps and changed my rear break pads this evening! As well as air filter and spark plugs on my 09 fat boy. Thanks for the diy video!! Helped out a lot!!
I got an '04 Fatboy as my first bike a couple years ago. Wish I would have found your channel sooner. Only watched a couple of the videos do far but i can tell your going to be so helpful and informative. Thanks in advance
I had almost made up my mind that I couldn't put these pads on with this new floating brake rotor with the wheel on the bike. Then I saw that you had a floating rotor. So I kept going until I could finally work them into place. Man, it was tight! Piece of cake?😀 Not for me; but I got er done. Thanks!
wel a cople of scredrivers didnt work for me .. i had to take the wheel out to push them back with a clamp.. so it does not always work.. and yes I did loose the cap..
If you were able to them back with a clamp that mean the screwdriver would have worked because all you are doing is pushing it back in with the screwdriver. Sorry you couldn’t do it, maybe it does always work, just not for everyone
I wouldn't be prying with a screw driver against the disk that aren't planning to replace. You will likely mar up the disk, which will mess up your brand new pads.
Taking the brake reservoir cap off makes it easier pushing the caliper piston back in but everyone is different and whatever works. 😁

Awesome glad you got her done Thanks for watching!!
Just got into ridding a year ago. Started on a sportster and just got my first fat boy. Thanks for making these videos. I'm learning a lot.
This was a great video simple and easy to follow.
Great to hear!
Size sockets would be a help
Thanks...nice bike..im making a cvo replica...basically a performance vicla...needed the reminder
I'm learning more and more. Thank you!
If one person learns one thing I have been successful
thank you so much for helping me with my back brakes, this is my very first harley 2000 fatboy ... p.s. you have a very sweet ride
Thanks four the information
Absolutely Thanks for your support
Great job 👍
Thanks
I’m surprised you didn’t remove rear axle
lol 😂 not removing the wheel no need to touch the axle
It looks like that brake disc has seen better days too. I'd be swapping that out as well.
The thickness is good and it is not warped, and I only ride the bike about 1k per year. Thanks for watching
Thank you!!
Looks like a pretty easy job.
Yes it is pretty simple to do, Thanks for watching

Done it 100s of times and ridden 10s of thousands of miles with zero issues, but of course you do what you choose on your bike.
Did you have to loosen the brake fluid reservoir cap?
No you don't at least I never have.
what size socket pin lock?
