Socket Size ???
Hey,
Anyone know the socket size to remove the rear master cylynder mounting nut?
Largest socket I have is a 7/8, and I'm not even sure its SAE. Largest metric is 19... neigther of which is big enough.
I have a 1" crows foot, but there is not enough clearance on the outside of the nut to use that.... need a socket.
Thanks
Oh yeah, its a '05 Wide Glide

It's looks bigger than 1" on mine. There is no description other than "nut" in my service manual. I think it's metric. The torque for it is 40-50 ft lbs.
Well got underneath it with a flashlight and a caliper...looks like a 28MM to me.

RE: Socket Size ???
damn big. my caliper sux, so I won't get a measurment
thanks for verifying I wasn't missing anything in the service manual ... I would have felt stupid if it was in there and I didn't see it.
appreciate your help figuring this out

Way too easy for me........I usually go to Sears and buy the 41 pc. socket set that runs from the diameter of a pencil to about the size of the rear tire.......then I KNOW I got that SOB...which is when it turns out to be Metric and I have to go back and get the other 41 pc set in Metric.

RE: Socket Size ???
Why we are on it how about the rear axle nut on a 06 Dyna? I've heard something like 1 1/4 and 28mm.. Neither of which my local Sears carries, Home Depot has about 3 individual sockets on display, it's looking like Ace is the Place....
