HI Guys,


I was trying to change brake fluid on my 2011 Super Glide as it was very dark and old.
While trying to unscrew the bleeder valve I tried 8mm 9mm and 10mm none of them worked, 8 and 9 being smaller and 10 wider.
I'm sure I read somewhere that this screw is a 9mm but it seems I was wrong.
Is this screw metric or standard and which size please ?


Thanks in advance

 

I think it is a 3/8" or 7/16".

 

Yup, it's not a metric bike.

 

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but alot of it is..Harleys have had made in japan Showa forks for over 30 years... various other components are manufactured overseas as well...

 

Oh, I know. I have full sets of both tools.

 

Made me go out to check my 2013 FXDC. 9mm too small, and 10 mm too large. 3/8" fit better than anything else; 3/8" = approx 9.5mm. Hope this helps.

Happy Trails
