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

 

12pt 1/4"

 

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.
