Hex head size?
Anybody know the size of the hex head wrench that goes for the screw I think HD calls a stretch tube? on a 2012 wide glide?
Not sure what they call it, but it's the hex head that goes in the bottom of the fork tube carrier to keep the tube attached.
Ya I know, wrong terminology but manual is in garage and I'm in house where comp is.
And sorry for posting here but I need to go get that wrench and need an answer as soon as I can.
TIA
Search finally came up with 12mm, is that right??

Maybe, but if it is the fastener that secures the slider to the tub assembly only accessible with the axle removed, then that would be an 8mm fastener that uses a 6mm hex key size- This is what I have always encountered anyway-

Wrong screw, it's a 12mm, It's the screw that holds the tubes to the slider, I think your talking about the axle cap screw.

Thanks all.

Been using these for about 8 years now metric & SAE with impacts on big stuff in industrial settings and the ends still look better than my snap-on home set does.

We got the tubes apart, buddy had a 12mm but wife ordered the snap on one, probably never use it, but I'll have one if needed.
