Replacing the brake pads is simple, just remove the caliper mounting bolts, retract the piston, unscrew the inner pad retainer and both pads will come right out. Reverse the procedure to install new pads.
Replacing the caliper is also simple, just remove the mounting bolts, unscrew the banjo bolt that holds the brake line and replace the old caliper with the new one. You must bleed the system any time it is opened, though.

The difference between a FLSTC and a FLSTCI on a Harley-Davidson primarily lies in the fuel system and certain features. The FLSTC, or Heritage Softail Classic, typically refers to models with a carbureted engine, while the FLSTCI designates the same model but with electronic fuel injection (EFI). This change in fuel system enhances performance and reliability, particularly in varying weather conditions. Overall, both models share similar styling and chassis characteristics, but the EFI versions offer more modern technology.
The first FLSTC was introduced in the summer of 1985 as a 1986 model.

In 2000, Harley-Davidson produced a limited run of the FLSTC Heritage Springer, with approximately 6,000 units manufactured. This model was notable for its classic styling and unique springer front fork. The Heritage Springer was part of the company's Softail line and appealed to riders who appreciated vintage aesthetics combined with modern performance.

The manual and technicians say that the gap should be from .36-.40. Personally I use .38 just to be in the middle and my 95' FLSTC has always run great from it.
