Can Anti-seize be used in lieu of the "Squeaky Juice" ? Is the Template absolutely necessary?
so the anti-squeaky juice is just brake paste that acts as an insulator to eliminate brake noise or brake chatter. The small vibration you will get without it can cause that chatter and be annoying..not using it won't affect the braking power either, it just stops the chatter...same as on a car. You can buy brake paste pretty cheap on amazon and I really don't see why anti-seize wouldn't work...basically, it's the same thing. The template they provide just guides you in putting on an equal amount across the brake pad...honestly we use the Permatex brand or liquid molly and smear it across the whole back and install the pad. I use it on all brake pads and HD is the only one that even provides it or a template. Here is a small bottle or you can pick this up at local parts stores too. If you are doing pads pretty regularly you can get this in a bigger bottle as well for about 20 bucks. amzn.to/3KlKlJ4
Do you know why the Anti-squeaky juice only comes with the rear brakes?@@sikbaggers
I've done my own brakes on many bikes over the years, this is my first Harley, and this was very helpful! Thanks!
always glad to help JJ..keep some of that hard-earned money in your pocket for future upgrades!
FWIW, I always just remove the pads without compressing the pistons back in. I then give the pistons a good clean to fix/prevent the brake from dragging. There's a dirt cheap caliper piston compression tool available to shove the pitons back in after the cleaning is done. Great video! Thanks for the detail!
I absolutely love how you said many times not to do more than one "click" on the torque wrench.. Excellent video sir, thank you. HOOAH!!!
aah man it drive sme nuts on youtube videos watching guys click it 3 or 4 times..yep thats on point! Well it was..now its over tight lol
As always Steve, EXCELLENT video. I am very familiar with doing my brakes, but still watched your video that is easy to follow/understand and in layman’s terms so anyone can do it.
You’re the best man!!!
All the best to you & Mary!
🍻
Thank you sir!! Much appreciated! Really glad the videos are a help to everyone. Saving money is always good...just means more money for more parts lol
Awesome. Its like an internship watching your how to videos. I love saving money more than I do spending it. Thanks brother. You remind me of a Marine comrade I served with on the streets…..
yes sir! So glad to help and always glad to help save some money!! Youre very welcome sir!
Steve, thanks for sharing another excellent video with us. Very helpful and informative. I won't hesitate to do a brake job on my Freewheeler after watching your procedure.
Thank you and very glad it will help in the future..all about saving some money!
One of the best mechanic videos on CZcams. Incredibly detailed with clear instructions and things to watch out for. Kudos!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Your vids are awesome! Greatly appreciate how clear and informative. Anytime I'm tinkering on the bike I look for your vids to help me along. Thank you!
I appreciate the support and always glad to help!
Thanks Steve,
I be changing my pads out this down riding season. So with your video and my service manual I now feel confident enough to tackle this project.
Thats awesome Clark! Youll save some money and get the satisfaction of doing your own work all while getting a better understanding of your sled...thanks for checking out the video and grateful to help!
Awesome video!! Easiest brake job I’ve ever done on anything with brakes. Ur explanations made it even easier… Thx
sorry for the late reply...some of these slipped by me.. and thank you...always glad to help!
Great video . Did all my brakes for the first time. Followed you step by step. Went really smooth👍
nice Troy! And you just sacved some money! Thats the best part aside from working on your own stuff. Thanks foe checking it out and glad the video helped!
Finally someone mentioned it. Good point Steve, I have never removed the master cylinder cover on motorcycles or cars when spreading the pads apart. Never could figure out why nobody ever spoke of leaving master covers on.
yeah Ive never done it either...there is plenty of room in there to push that little bit of fluid up..youre moving the piston about 1/2 of inch...maybe ...thanks for checking it out!
Great how to video. You gave me confidence that I actually could do this myself. Love the repetition on how to do it. Saves me watching the process 3x over. Thx for the great work.
glad to help Howie!
The most important maintenance you can do on a bike yet it’s the one that’s always overlooked. Great video Steve. 👍
Indeed! 100% and I hopefully with this video people can see just how easy it is to take care of them. Literally have done this a thousand times but even the first time only took less than an hour to do...super easy stuff..thanks for checking it out Mike!
This step by step instruction video was awesome. I am not a mechanic, so it made it truly simple to understand and do. Thanks for taking the time to help folks like me who are intimidated by anything mechanical!
Hey Steve...glad you got it and the video helped...saved yourself some big bucks from taking it to a shop and learned some new things about your bike!
Excellent Steve, my first time doing rear brakes on my 2019 FLHT and spot on. Also used the OEM Harley pads (Brembo) and they fit perfectly. Wasn't sure what to do with the "squeaky juice" so thanks. Also appreciated little tips like tilting the caliper and taking off the brake line clips.
Really glad to help Michael!
What is unbelievable video! You really did a great job at explaining and demystifying the whole brake change. Your videos are extremely helpful to someone who truly wants to learn how to service their own bike. If you ever have a class I'll be one of your first students! Thank you again
Thank you sir! Much appreciate and glad to help!
Awesome video Steve!
Great information for even an experienced member 👍
thank you Scott for checking it out! Im always looing for new or better ways to get things done...always trying to learn!
Steve, great video as always. Was able to knock both front and back out in an hour (including the one 'ugga dugga's'). Thanks for saving me a bunch at the local dealer.
This guy is the best! No joke! He explains things very well.
Thank you James! Much appreciated!
Sehr starke Videos. Du hast mich schon mehrfach motiviert, Dinge an der Harley selbst zu erledigen.
1. Bremsflüssigkeit Wechsel, erledigt!
2. Vorderrad ausgebaut, mit neuem Reifen zum Reifenwechsel gebracht und wieder eingebaut!
Top!
Meine Harley: FAT Bob 117 cui ( nach Motorumbau mit TÜV und Eintragung in die Papiere), nicht selbst gemacht!

You Rock Steve!! Always informative and to the point step by step for us dummies!! Thx
Always grateful to be a help! Thank you!

@@sikbaggers My Wife from Marion I know your, area Well. I bought from Campbell's and Diamond . I have 15 SGlide Charcoal. Bad dad Bags do my own work
@@samval2879 you know when someone knows there when the bring up Campbells..so many years ago and man I spent a lot of money there...ever down this way again look us up!
@@sikbaggers I like to. Advise on woods Or Best cams mid range
I have it with stock cam . I have V H FP3 Tuner, no cat, slash Vance Hines duals with stock crossover. Heavy Breather HD best ..Runs great. But I should leave it be? Never any problems.
I do my own wrenching. From 1989 on my FXRS Evo. I have a O3 Deuce, Complete HD Scream Eagle cams 211. Heads 95 inch
Pulls close to 98 hp. 96 Torque.
Running Mikuni carb 45 believe me I blow up a lot of bikes with that thing but everything breaks on that freaking thing enjoy and I'm still into the twin cams the bastards wants so much money at Harley for a f****** new bagger it's ridiculous they need to step up production so these guys are flooded so they'll deal on this s*** again
As always Steven you put out the best informative videos. Excellent demonstration👍👍
Than you john! Glad the videos help! Much appreciated.
It's so easy when you watch Steve's videos. Thanks man.
Thank you DED.!! Much appreciated!
Great video Steve, again you make this look so easy. Thank you...
thank you J! Much appreciated and I hope it helps in the future!
Excellent video. Also, thank you for the inspiration and confidence in changing the break pads myself. 😊
Glad to help Zack!!
Thank you, your video helped me swap pads on my 2015 road king, saved myself from going to the stealership
Another great video Steve. Very helpful stuff.
Thank you paul!
VERY VERY VERY smooth & clear illustration. Save for future reference and subscribed. Two thumbs up.
Thanks for checking it out NF! Glad to have helped!
Excellent video... Took maybe 10 minutes to switch out my brake pads on my 21 SGS yesterday. Put in some lyndall gold series and IMO 10x better then oem brake pads. My service manually did not show, luckily the Harley dealership knew, that the rear brake pad pin is a different part number and maybe an 1/8" shorter than the front pins. The brake pads, for my model, are the exact same for the fronts and rear luckily.
Thank you Dan...glad to help and glad Hd got you sorted on the pad pins. Ill have to try those lyndalls...Ive always just ran the EBC brake pads. Thanks for the heads up!
Love all your videos. I have learned a lot from them. Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us
Thank you! And glad they are helping! Be safe!
Great video man! Thank you!
Youre very welcome Donald...thanks for checking it out!
Ugga dugga. Love that description for proper torque. I use that technique quite often 😂
Hahah....thanks for checking out the video DD!
I love the channel. Your videos are always so helpful, informative and easy to follow. I’m just curious on why the grease is used for the rear and not the front? Is it because it accumulates more grime etc?
Trust me...at first I had the same question...asked a HD tech that had been there for literally decades and he said I dont know...swear to god...he said thats the way its always been and he just follows the service manual lol it wont hurt anything to add it if you want though..and honestly I usually use EBC pads and none at all on the front or rear..never had a squeak issue.
You are a very thorough teacher thank you.
glad top help and its great saving money!
Glad I found your channel. Very informative and fun to watch.
I appreciate that! Thanks for checking us out!
Excellent tutorial. Thank You
Youre very welcome..glad to help!

Great video steve
Great instructional video Steve but I cover the exhaust and frame area and lay the caliper on it rather than letting it hang on the brake hose
Thanks Skip...I have a S hook I made and couldn't find...well of course until after I shot the video..lol But yeah specially on older bikes with a bit more brittle lines you for sure want to support it. thanks for checking out the video!

i learn so dang much watch your videos.. Thank you!
Youre very welcome Joseph!
Freaking awesome thanks man!
youre very welcome!
@@sikbaggers before I changed my pads I had a bad screech from the back breaks. After the pad changed the screeching is minimal but still there. Do you have an idea what is causing it? Or Is this normal?
@@crossfitpersevere5987 you should be able to eliminate all noise from the rear...key is clean and lubed. But it also could be the type/brand of pad you used...was it the HD pads?
@@sikbaggers yes HD pads, and no I did not clean or lube the calipers. I thought to myself I forgot the break cleaner oh well…. Well nothing like doing things twice.
Thanks!
Youre very welcome Mike!
You are awesome! Thanks so much.
Thank you jed! Much appreciated!
Great video your are great buddy
Good stuff!
Thank you sir!
Thanks brother!
You're very welcome!
U sir make the best videos plan doing mine on my 2020 ultra limited in spring currently sleeping for the winter here in upstate NY 🥴😢
Thank you jeff and glad to help! Save a ton of money by doing it yourself and also get to learn more about your bike. WIN WIN..happy holidays!
Thanks a lot very good
thank you Darrell
Great job I always wondered how hard this is to do ! Pretty sure I can handle it hope to run across ya in sturgis!
Absoutly...if you see us out make sure to stop and say hey! We will be at the Advanblack tent on the 12, 13th for a live tin swap for sure..other than that we will be kind of all over the place lol thanks for checking out the video!! Glad it helped.
@@sikbaggers 😂 I’m just now reading this I was the one who talked to you upstairs’ at the old picture photo shoot in deadwood Tuesday morning hope all went well and can’t wait for the sturgis videos!
@@rosekransconst.2495 LOL yeah pretty crazy meeting there...but was nice meeting and chatting...everything went smooth and ill be doing a live feed I think Saturday night to talk about Sturgis and maybe put out a video of some of the riding.
Steve...as ways GREAT VIDEO brother..One other thing you might want to cover is a BRAKE FLUSH. Most riders dont realize the importance of changing that fluid out.
Yes sir...ill be doing that soon! Its on our list! Thanks foe cheking it out too man.much appreciated!
Thank you sir
Youre very welcome sir..hope it helps in the future save some money!
Just bought new brake pads for my 2019 Road King. I didn't like the feel and new pads made a big difference
Nice! Pretty easy fix if the pads that you have are worn or maybe the wrong pads for your riding style!
Steve, I would recommend throttle body salvent cleaner that's safe for rubber and plastics. Most solvent cleaners expand rubber.
Great tip ill check that out!
Great video. Easy step by step. I'm putting on new tires and will reference this video to do the brakes as well.
Would you happen to have 2012 touring service manual?
Thank you Sir!
Thank you and yes I do...click the link and itll take you to the my personal google drive upload of the 2012 service manual. top right corner should be a down arrow ...just click that and you can download it drive.google.com/file/d/1sNp1TtHaO6vusKMTkLyBURMzhLqqOBkv/view?usp=sharing
I’ll keep this video on file .. thnks 👍👍
Awesome!! Hopefully saves you some money down the road!
Great video. Thanks for doing this. Is the same with the ABS system?
Yes..you will have an ABS sensor but other than that it is exactly the same. Make a mental note of how the sensor is on and put it back the same way. There is nothing you need to do extra because it is abs.
You're a lifeesaver Steve, Thank you for the great video. I just have a question though, is it worth adding antiseize to the pad pin and the caliper bolts?
Thank you..I never ad it but you can...it wont hurt anything
@@sikbaggers Thank you Sir!
Totally digging your intels you always share. I just purchased my dream bike ‘22 RGL, just got done my first 1k service and the HD service tried to charge me for a full brake service job because there was moisture in the lines. The service person tried to blame me for the cause, luckily the service manager caught it and took care of me under the warranty ordeal. My question is what or how do I go about avoid moisture in my lines in for the future?
if they told you at the 1K service that was your fault, id find a new dealer and tech. Moisture gets in through small pores in the lines or on the master cylinder covers...but its minuet ...you could have a bad seal on the cover or even a bad line...a 22 with 1k miles on it...no way..EVER, that was your fault.
Thank you for capitalizing with your knowledge.
