#110478 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1549 Rear Brake Pad Replacement 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Has anyone succeeded in replacing the rear brake pads without removing the mufflers on a stock bike (I have a Silverado)? I pulled the cans the last time, but I know I can remove the caliper mounting bolts with the pipes on, just not sure what else might be a problem.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110491 slezy (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 712 Re:Rear Brake Pad Replacement 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   how long did the brakes last?   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/20 10:40 By slezy.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110505 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1549 Re:Rear Brake Pad Replacement 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The stockers lasted almost 20k miles and still had some meat on them. The replacement kevlars only lasted about 8k miles on the rear. Going back to stock.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110540 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh.

The answer is 'yes,' you can replace the rear pads without pulling the mufflers if you are patient enough, coordinated enough, and have hands my size or smaller.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access.
