anyone know what size and type socket you need take out the pins that hold the pads in? is it a 12pt. socket or something loke that? help a newbie out

 

12 point 1/4 inch socket. got mine at sears for five bucks for the deepwell

 

sweet.. thanks for the info I figured it was a 12pt but wasn't sure. I don't know why harley felt they needed to use so many different type of bolts on the bike. but thanks again I will go to sears tommorow and pick up a set

 

And dont forget those METRIC tools for your American made bike

 

I need metric also....damn. is there anywhere I can go to get a tool list from so I can buy everything I need
