Default Help with socket size
I have an '08 Street Bob and need to know the torx socket size for removing brake caliper and also hex size for the slider cap screws. Thought I had them among my tools but do not. Thanks!

There is a torx socket on the caliper? Are you talking about the front caliper or rear?

If you're talking about the 12pt bolts holding the caliper to the forks, that is 10mm 12point.

Slider cap screws....is that the fork caps that are on top? 35mm.

Unless you're referring to the allen head bolts in the bottom. They are 12mm. Go to napa. They have an air-impact wrench socket that fits perfect.
