Stuck rear brake caliper on 2003 road king after replacing brakes

I replaced the rear brake pads on my 2003 road king classic, and upon reassembly, the brake caliper is stuck. I tried bleeding rear brake system, but had no luck.

SOURCE: replace rear brake pads

Remove right saddlebag, pull the two caliper mounting bolts and remove the caliper. Do not open bleeder or disconnect line. You will need to push a large screwdriver between the old pads before removing them in order to push the pucks back into the caliper or the new pads will not spread enough to reinstall. Then pull the two smaller bolts from the caliper and the pads will fall out. The pads are different for inside and outside, so pay attention, and remember, after reinstalling, before riding, be sure to pump brake pedal, and it may take a few stops before brakes stop as effectively as before.

TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, SINCE VEHICLE HAS ABS SYSTEM . THE BRAKES MAY NEED TO BE BLEED WITH DRB/SCANNER. OR YOU MAY HAVE LINES CLOGGED.

On cars with 4 wheel disc brakes the rear calipers are what they call racheting.The pison needs to be turned clockwise at the same time you are pushing in.This mechanisum is for the E brake system.They make special tools for doing this that you can pick up at your local parts store.

Stuck caliper on 2003 road king classic

Obviously you did something wrong. Take it apart and put it together correctly or since brakes are so important get someone who has the expertise to do it for you if you do not have the expertise yourself.

Master cylinder 2003 road king

I would
1. Check brake pad thickness.
2. Check brake disk thickness.
3. Check and bleed the brakes, making sure you open and thighten all fittings in that system.
4. When you bleed the brakes, look for a good squirt when you hit the brakes with the top off.
5. If there isnt a squirt, rebuild the master cylinder.

I bet its one of those issues, but, do the easiest first.

My front brakes make a scraping sound when they aren't applied, when I grab the brake hanc]dle lightly it stops, what could the problem be? Also running very hot and Idles higher when its hot,...

The brake noise could be the caliper not releasing properly. Make certain it can slide smoothly when you release the brake lever. You may have to replace it if it is causing premature wear on the brake pads. If the pads are wearing evenly it is more of a noise issue than a mechanical problem. I haven't worked on a king but If I remember correct it has two calipers on the front. Check them both.

It is not unusual for a Harley to seem hotter in the summer heat and that can make it idle faster. If it has injection, you might be able to have the dealer reprogram it to allow a richer mixture which will help it run cooler but it will use more fuel and reduce your fuel mileage. If it is carbureted it can be adjusted to a slightly richer mixture.

I need instructions for replacing the rear brakes on a 2000 Harley Davidson Road King Classic

Spray some brake cleaner into the existing pad/caliper area FIRST to wash any brake dust away.(being careful of painted surfaces) Take a thin "putty knife" and GENTLY pry the inboard and outboard brake pads away from the brake rotor/disc as far as they will go. Then with a 12pt 1/4" socket, remove the 2 pad retention pins from the caliper's face and let the pads fall out of the caliper's body, being careful to take notice of the pads themselves (they are slightly different) Slide the new pads up into the caliper body one at a time. This will require a little force as there is a spring inside the caliper body. Then you can re-insert the retention pins and snug them down firmly (do not over tighten) Double check your work, use a falshlight if necessary. Make SURE the pads are in place and you have adequate brake pedal "pressure". The bleeding of the caliper might be necessary. If you are wary of this procedure, please have qualifed persons do this critical work.

How do you change the brakes on a 2008 road king classic

There are two long bolts (Torqx type bolts) that hold the rear caliper into it's bracket, Remove the two bolts and lift the caliper off the rear caliper bracket. Notice how the pads and the "anti-rattle clips" are positioned in the caliper bracket. Replace the pads and anti-rattle clips with new ones.

Now you'll need to get the piston pressed back into the caliper. Use a large C-clamp or a pair of slip joint pliers to do this with. Use a rag or something to keep from scratching your paint or scoring the piston. Once the piston is all the way back in it's bore, replace the caliper in it's bracket being careful not to disturn the pads. Pump the rear brake pedal a few times slowly until you build up pressure. Test the brakes before riding the bike. An improperly performed brake job can cause serious injury or death. Make sure everything is right before riding the bike.

I have a 07 roadkind i just replaced the rear brakes and when i try to bleed the brakes i have brake fuild coming out of the caliper

If it is coming out from where the caliper halves meet then it sounds like the wrong bolts have been loosened & the seals have slipped on tightening
If its coming out from around the pistons then the caliper seals need replacing & poss. the pistons too
