INSTALLATION
NOTE
This Billet-Style Brake Lever is equipped with self-lubricating bushings. However, on FLHT and FLTR models, apply a thin film of wheel bearing grease (Part No. 99856-92), purchased separately, to the mounting shaft and bushings prior to installation.
1. See Figure 1 and Table 1. Insert new O-rings (3) on either side of the lever bushings. Install the new brake lever (1) onto the shaft.
2. Align the holes in the lever and brake rod and insert the stock clevis pin (B).
3. Install the small saved flat washer onto the clevis pin and insert the new cotter pin (2).
4. Install the large flat washer (4) and locknut (5) from the kit. Tighten the locknut to 20–27 N·m (15–20 ft-lbs).
5. Install the brake pedal pad to the brake lever.
WARNING
After repairing the brake system, test brakes at low speed. If brakes are not operating properly, testing at high speeds can cause loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00289a)
