brake caliper pad pins

can anyone tell me what size socket i need to remove the so called pad pins
on my 2001 electra glide.they are 12 point metric bolt heads.i tried a 6 and it
was to small so i tried a 7 and it was to big.is it a 6.5 which i don't have???
these bolts are the smallest bolts on the brake caliper.i'm trying to rebuild my caliper but can't find the right size socket to pull these pins.thanks

and it was not so easy to find. Bought a whole set of Craftsman just for the one socket- wish I could have bought one at auto zone, but NO ONE had the damn thing!

Or you can use a 1/4" combination wrench.
