Some clear tubing, an empty plastic oil quart bottle, cut the side of it out to use as a drip pan to catch brake fluid don't forget to keep the cap on it or you might lose fluid on the floor. Torx bit sockets and Allens, screw driver, 3/8's ratchet. Now losen the bleeder screw just enough to allow fluid to escape when depressing on the disk pads inward towards the caliper piston to allow for clearanc when you remove the fasteners to remove the calipers. Doesn't take much only about a 1/16th of an inch to allow the caliper to slide out with pads. Then remove pads and be carefull to remember how you remove; Now replace in the reverse manner and your ready to install the caliper back on. I like to put a dab of anti-seze on the bolts that allow the caliper to travel on as to assit for a smooth back and forth glide when I press on the brakes. be carefull not to get any on the rotor or pads. Now your ready to bleed the system. This takes only paitience and slow depresions of your brake lever and foot lever to be ablr to build up enough pressure to remove any air if you trapped air when you lossened the bleeder screw. Ohh don't forget to tighten this bleeder screw after you made enough clearance to remove caliper. If this is your first time don't worry copy and paste this in a note pad on your PC and take it out to your work area and check it out pretty basic my 15 year old takes care of mine.

Is harley Davidson a person?

William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson were boyhood Friends who were working together for the same firm in 1901; Harley was a draftsman and Davidson a pattern maker. They started working together on an engine design. Exactly the same engine design that is used to this day. Ole Evinrude (of now legendary Evinrude outboard motors) helped get the carb design right. In 1903 Davidson's two older brothers, Walter and William A., left their railroad jobs to join in to get the design right. Walter was a mechanic, W.A. was a tool maker. The first factory was a 10'x15' shed built by the Davidson's father in the family's back yard. William Harley enrolled in engineering at the University of Wisconsin. The rest, as they say, is history.
