Rear brakes 2021 Tri Glide

[Ocbray]

I’ve been having some rear brake squealing lately. I was going to go ahead and change the stock pads out early. The issue is there is some confining part info for rear brake pads. Harley site doesn’t even list parts for them.

I bought some from JP They state they are the same as the front. I put the front pads on and moved to the back. My maintenance manual for the rear is on order. I pulled the tire off today and I am totally confused on how the caliper comes off. I removed the parking brake arm. But that is as far as I got. I see the upper torx bolt but the bottom bolt seems to be driven from the outer side of the caliper and is covered by some type of cover.

Anyone ever taken the rear calipers off a 2021. They seem to be different than previous years. The upper bolt is clear from the back side. The lower is clearly driven from the outer side and is covered.

TIA

Front & Rear brake pads are different and listed as different part numbers. Went through this drill when I replaced mine.

Did not have an issue taking them off.

Got my pads off Amazon:

FRONT (even though it says rear in the amazon site): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BHZ2GQB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

REAR: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXA6GR2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1



You will need to wind the caliper pistons back in like is required for some European vehicles and make sure you have the emergency brake connections oriented correctly. Phone pictures before taking apart are your friend.
