EZ Brake install...
 

Wasn't easy. Or completed. My clevis pin is frozen in place.

Anyone have similar experience and if so, how did you get it out??

CaptainLee was a lot of help to Al with a how to question yesterday, maybe he'll drop by and offer a few suggestions later.

my only suggestion is a bigger hammer.

I used a set of dykes (shaddup) to kind of pinch or lever it out.

We whacked it with a screwdriver and a hammer best we could... hard to get to on an Ultra with all that shlt everywhere...

It didn't budge...

Did you try a drift punch?

Come up on it from underneath. If you can get a set of dykes on it, kinda pinch and lever it out. It was a real PIA when I did mine, but thats how I got it.

What is a drift punch...

I don't like to get lower than Rick...

Send him for beer. That way you can be alone with the bike.

what if I scratch it...

Make him drink all the beer, then blame it on him. Drunks and tools don't mix.

then we'll all wear our best HD tshirt, jackets and various other poser gear to your memorial service.

devious... I like it...

He isn't very flexible from what I've seen... if it occurs down low, he'll never notice...

See? You're covered.

thanks man...

it will definitely need a pair of vise grips... I stuck a nail and a steel rod in the cotter pin hole and bent both of them... not turning...

It won't turn. It actually "swedges" in there. It's not a loose fit. You have to get on the head of the clevis pin and pry. Thats why I suggested the dykes. When you bite down on the pin, the dykes act like a wedge, pulling it up a bit. Then you have to lever it out.
